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.
