Chelsea will take on Borussia Dortmund up next as part of their pre-season preparations at the Soldier Field Stadium on Thursday. These two teams met in the Champions League last season and the outcome was an aggregate victory for the Premier League side over two legs.
The Blues have won three out of their last four friendly fixtures. Mauricio Pochettino's team looked good out on the pitch and will be looking to end the pre-season series on a high. Dortmund are unbeaten since their defeat to RB Leipzig in April. They have won all their last five pre-season friendlies which includes a 3-2 win over Manchester United in their most recent outing.
