Chelsea will be chasing their 20th trophy in less than 20 years under owner Roman Abramovich when they take on Brazilian side Palmeiras in the Club World Cup final on Saturday.

Thomas Tuchel has not travelled to the UAE with the squad due to COVID and his team were not particularly convincing in their semi-final win against AFC Champions League winners Al Hilal on Wednesday evening, with Romelu Lukaku scoring the only goal of the game after 31 minutes.

Copa Libertadores champions Palmeiras, led by Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira, are now the only thing standing between the Blues and their first Club World Cup title.

Two goals either side of the break helped the South American outfit beat CAF Champions League winners Al Ahly 2-0 in the other semi-final.

Our prediction: Chelsea v Palmeiras

Chelsea know not to underestimate South American opposition in this competition, having suffered defeat to Corinthians at this stage in 2012.

Palmeiras are likely to fight hard as they chase history in what is their first-ever Club World Cup final appearance.

The Blues were not convincing in the semi-final but given the quality in their side, they should have too much for their opponents on Saturday.

Our prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Palmeiras (8/1 at bet365)
