AC Milan vs Chelsea: Match Preview

Chelsea have reached the final hurdle of their pre-season tour of the United States of America as they prepare to face AC Milan in the US Bank Stadium, Minnesota.

Antonio Conte will hope that his side can improve their performance against the Italians after a 3-2 defeat to the Galacticos which saw the Blues go 3-0 down within the first 30 minutes in front of a record breaking 105,000 spectators.

AC Milan on the other hand will also be looking for an improvement on their results as the side from the San Siro also lost their last fixture but this time to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

This is not the first time Chelsea and the Rossoneri have met in a pre-season tournament as they faced each other in the 2013 International Challenge Cup and the 2012 World Football Challenge Cup, winning 1 game apiece.
