Real Madrid vs Chelsea - Club Friendly 2024  Watch as Spanish giants Real Madrid and English side Chelsea put up a feisty showdown in this 2024 preseason games.

Chelsea vs Celtic: Mykhailo Mudryk and Wesley Fofana both start Enzo Maresca takes on the Celtics in their second friendly with the hope of getting more encouragement following their 2-2 draw against Wrexham on Wednesday. The manager wishes to build up their fitness ahead of the 2024–25 campaign, as the match will kick off at 4 p.m. local time and 9 p.m. UK time. The Chelsea boss hopes to record a win with Two changes from the side that drew with them during the first game: Wesley Fofana and Mykhailo Mudryk for Tosin Adarabioyo and Tyrique George. Starting XI: Sanchez; James; Fofana; Badiashile; Colwill; Lavia; Chukwuemeka; Nkunku; Madueke; Mudryk; Guiu. Now it seems the manager will bring in more depth since Celtic have already been pictured as possessing more distributive tactics. The Notre Dame side recorded a 3-4 victory against the Premier League champions, and Enzo Maresca has gotten tactics to unleash their defensive solidity.

After making wholesale changes at the weekend for the game against Cadiz, Carlo Ancelotti reverts to the same side that started the first leg, with just one alteration. Carvajal returns from a European ban to replace Vazquez, who drops to the bench. Kroos makes his 150th Champions League appearance, while Bellingham makes his 31st - the joint-most by a player under 21 along with Iker Casillas. Thomas Tuchel makes five changes from their defeat to Stuttgart on Saturday. They're boosted by the return of De Ligt from a knee injury, with Mazraoui, Laimer, Sane and Musiala coming in too. Dier is also fit to retain his place after going off in that game. Kim, Davies, Choupo-Moting and Tel start on the bench, while Raphael Guerreiro is out for the season after picking up an injury in that game.

Chelsea 4-0 West Ham - Jackson What a start to the second half by the Blues. A searching ball from the back by Chalobah found Madueke who rather unselfishly played it across to Jackson who tapped it in. That is his 12th goal in the league, which is a decent return in his maiden campaign.

Chelsea 3-0 West Ham - Madueke CHELSEA ARE DISMANTLING WEST HAM! Madueke is at the back post to knock in Thiago Silva's head down and the Blues are running away with this game. It is a rare header for Madueke and he will definitely take it.

Chelsea 2-0 West Ham - Gallagher AND WHO ELSE COULD IT BE! COLE PALMER SCORES HIS 21ST PREMIER LEAGUE GOAL OF THE SEASON! Chelsea work their way through the pitch really nicely and a cross just falls to Palmer who smashes his shot into the corner and Chelsea led. He might have a tough job catching Haaland after his four-goal haul yesterday, but he isn't giving up.
