Chelsea get their Fifa Club World Cup campaign underway tonight as they take on Los Angeles FC in Atlanta.

Delap, signed for £30million from Ipswich Town, will hope to be given the nod ahead of Nicolas Jackson, who played 82 minutes in Senegal's 3-1 win over England on Tuesday night.
Levi Colwill and Trevoh Chalonah played the full 90 that night.
It is difficult to guess how Maresca might rotate his squad, if at all, over the coming weeks but Noni Madueke, Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella are among the others who could be considered for a rest after recent international obligations.
But Maresca will be determined to get his side off to the best possible start in a competition he is determined to win.
With the exception of Wesley Fofana is recovering from injury, the major names left out of the squad are very unlikely to be part of Maresca's plans next season.
Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling, Djordje Petrovic and Axel Disasi, back from loan spells at AC Milan, Arsenal, Strasbourg and Aston Villa respectively, are among the most prominent absentees.
There will be some very familiar names in the Los Angeles side including former Blues striker Olivier Giroud, who spent three years at Stamford Bridge.
Former Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is also expected to start in goal.
Sanchez, Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Neto, Palmer, Madueke, Delap

Jamal Musiala hits hat-trick as Bayern Munich put 10 past Auckland
Jamal Musiala hit a hat-trick and Harry Kane drew a blank as Bayern Munich hammered Auckland City 10-0 to launch their Club World Cup campaign in record-breaking fashion. Vincent Kompany's Bundesliga champions led 6-0 at half-time of the Group C contest in Cincinnati thanks to braces from Kingsley Coman and Michael Olise, plus finishes from Sacha Boey and Thomas Muller. Advertisement Having been unable to add his name to the scoresheet against the outclassed New Zealand part-timers, England captain Kane was replaced by Musiala with 29 minutes remaining. The substitute claimed Bayern's next three goals, with his second coming from the penalty spot, before Muller completed the biggest win in the competition's history by doubling his tally late on. Champions League winners Paris St Germain thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0 in their Group B meeting at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. First-half goals from Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha put Luis Enrique's side in control. Advertisement Atletico were reduced to 10 men 12 minutes from time when defender Clement Lenglet was dismissed for a second bookable offence before Senny Mayulu stretched PSG's lead and fellow substitute Lee Kang-in added a late penalty. Lionel Messi was denied by the crossbar in added time as Inter Miami were held to a goalless draw by Egyptian side Al Ahly in the tournament opener. With Sir David Beckham among a crowd of 60,927 for the Group A match at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Argentina captain Messi saw his late cross-shot pushed onto the frame of the goal by Al Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy. Former Aston Villa forward Trezeguet had a first-half penalty saved by Miami keeper Oscar Ustari. Advertisement The clash between Palmeiras and Porto also ended in a goalless draw in front of 46,275 people at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Palmeiras had a 17-11 advantage in shots and 55.3 per cent possession, but the highlight of the match went to Porto's goalkeeper Claudio Ramos. The 33-year-old was able to get his hands on a shot from Palmeiras winger Estevao and scrambled to also block midfielder Richard Rios' attempt off the rebound in first-half stoppage time. A late goal from Cristian Roldan was ultimately not enough as the Seattle Sounders went down to Botafogo 2-1 in front of their home fans. Advertisement First-half goals from Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus put the Brazilian side firmly in front until a header from Roldan found the back of the net in the 75th minute. However, the Sounders were unable to find an equaliser as two shots on target were blocked in the final 30 seconds of stoppage time.

Man Utd's £51m transfer target responds to rumours he could replace Andre Onana
Kaua Santos has distanced himself from rumours that he could be set for a move to Manchester United, insisting he remains 'entirely focused' on Eintracht Frankfurt. The young goalkeeper left Flamengo's academy to join Eintracht in 2023 and went on to make his first senior appearance for the Bundesliga outfit in a 2-1 win over Wolfsburg last September. But Santos suffered a cruciate ligament tear in Eintracht's Europa League quarter-final second leg defeat to Tottenham and the serious knee injury brought the 22-year-old's promising debut season to a premature end. Now on the long road to recovery, the highly rated Brazilian is not expected to return to action until autumn at the earliest. Despite sitting on the sidelines for the past two months, Santos has remained in the spotlight, with some of Europe's elite clubs said to be plotting moves for the former Flamengo shot-stopper.

Old Trafford has been mooted as a possible destination for Santos after United's director of recruitment, Christopher Vivell, met with Eintracht's chief Markus Krosche in April to discuss a proposed £51million deal. The Red Devils are believed to have identified Santos as a potential target on the back of another unconvincing campaign for Ruben Amorim's error-prone number one Andre Onana. But when quizzed on United's interest in a wide-ranging interview with German newspaper Die Welt, Santos stressed that he was not even thinking about leaving Eintracht. 'The management at Eintracht Frankfurt have shown tremendous confidence in me,' Santos said. 'They wanted to continue working with me before these rumours even surfaced. 'They still have a lot of faith in me here, so it was clear to me that I decided to extend my contract [last October]. 'I want to establish myself as a goalkeeper, perform well and achieve as much as possible.' Asked if he had ambitions to lift major trophies with Eintracht, Santos replied: 'Of course. If I compete, I want to win. 'The club has shown repeatedly with the DFB Cup and Europa League victories, as well as with our Champions League qualification, that great things are possible here. 'I want to help repeat such successes.' United are not alone in tracking Santos' progress, with Bayern Munich reportedly eyeing the youngster as a possible long-term successor for Manuel Neuer. On these rumours, Santos said: 'Manuel is a role model for every goalkeeper. 'Every goalkeeper who comes along now has learned from him. 'I'm not busy with anything else at the moment because my entire focus is on Eintracht Frankfurt.' Santos picked out fellow countrymen, Alisson Becker and Ederson, as his two greatest inspirations in the modern game. More Trending 'I especially look up to my two compatriots Alisson Becker and Ederson,' he explained. 'They're among the best goalkeepers in the world and I watch a lot of videos of both of them. 'With Alisson, I pay particular attention to his positioning and his behaviour in one-on-one duels with the strikers. I've improved a lot in that area since then. 'Ederson is world-class on the ball. That's why I've been watching how precisely he holds his foot when passing and the decisions he makes.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.
