Team news
Chelsea lined up in a 4-3-3 formation against Perth Glory and Sarri's side could keep the same shape here.
Eden Hazard, N'Golo Kante, Olivier Giroud, Michy Batshuayi, Gary Cahill, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Thibaut Courtois will all miss out after enjoying an extended run at the World Cup for their respective nations.
Radja Nainggolan, Stefan de Vrij and Lautaro Martinez are amongst the new faces that could feature for Inter. Dalbert Henrique is definitely out, though, after sustaining a serious shoulder injury against Sheffield United.
Goals galore?
There have been at least three goals scored in each of Chelsea's last four International Champions Cup fixtures and, given the attack-minded style that the Blues are expected to adopt under Sarri's stewardship, that trend could continue here.
The 8/11 (1.73) quote, therefore, for more than two goals to be scored looks to be a solid selection, while the same firm go 8/13 (1.62) that there are goals at both ends.
Prediction
Inter have won each of their last four matches at the International Champions Cup, including a 2-1 win against the Blues last time out.
Spalletti's side will be determined to extend their winning run in the competition and fans could be treated to an open and exciting encounter.
The 8/11 (1.73) quote, then, for more than two goals to be scored could offer punters best value ahead of Saturday's showdown.
Odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
