Palmeiras vs Chelsea prediction
As the sole remaining English representative, Chelsea seem to be finding their feet at the right time and are showing signs of being serious contenders.
Yes, they have already lost to Brazilian opponents in this competition and will be without their best midfielder in Caicedo, but they possess a superior attacking threat and so should prove to be too strong for Palmeiras.
Chelsea are favourites, but don't expect the floodgates to open, as Palmeiras are expected to remain resolute.

WATCH: All the goals as Barcelona cruise to win over Daegu to close out Asia preseason tour
Daegu FC 0-5 Barcelona Barcelona cruised to a third preseason win over Daegu FC in South Korea before heading back to the Catalan capital, with Hansi Flick's side once again looking well-tuned. First half: the Lamine Yamal show Barcelona showed little mercy for their opposition in the first half in Daegu, with a more or less starting team taking to the pitch. Gerard Martin got a second run out at centre-back, while 17-year-old midfielder Dro Fernandez has rewarded with a start too. He showed a number of nice touches, in the opening period, and provided the pass for Gavi's opener, a fine finish from the edge of the box for the Spain international. It was Martin who was involved in the second, as he popped up at his more familiar left-back spot for an excellent ball across the box to set up Robert Lewandowski to finish with ease in the box. Dro could have had a second preseason goal too, but couldn't keep the ball down from close in as he attacked Alejandro Balde's own lovely ball in. Others impressed, but it was the Lamine Yamal show in South Korea. Unlucky that Raphinha did not convert a brilliant cross in, the 18-year-old weaved between defenders and accelerated away from them with ease, only lacking the final touch on two or three occasions. Raphinha would redeem himself just before the half by seeing a pass for Gavi, setting him free in the box. He again finished beautifully, lifting the ball over the goalkeeper into the net. The only sticky moment for Barcelona saw Daegu escape down the left, and Joan Garcia did not make it out in time to cut the ball across out. With the goal gaping, Geovani lofted it wide and high. Second half: The second half kciked off with Barcelona attacking well down the left through Jofre Torrents and Toni Fernandez, with Marcus Rashford playing a little more inside. The latter was the end of a brilliant move slicing through for the fourth, and finished smoothly, one of several sequences showing his talent. Between Fernandez, Dani Olmo, Marc Casado and Pedri, Daegu were constantly on the back foot. Roony Bardghji and Torrents got into some good positions too, but between saves, deflections and blocks couldn't quite find the finishing touch. Barcelona were made to wait until the 65th minute for their final goal, with Eric Garcia pulling the ball back for Marcus Rashford to fizz into the bottom corner from the penalty spot. The one concern for Barcelona was the exit of Pau Cubarsi, who appeared to pick up a knock. Going down with three minutes to go, Barcelona will hope it is nothing serious. Inigo Martinez and Fermin Lopez did not feature through fitness issues, while Ferran Torres also didn't play, although it is not yet clear whether this was also fitness-related. It brings to an end a successful tour for Hansi Flick and Barcelona, in which they showed one or two dodgy moments at the back, but mostly impressed with their movement of the ball, the quality of their moves on the whole, and the ease with which they created chances. Youngsters Dro, Toni Fernandez and Bardghji looked like cogs in the machine, and Rashford showed glimpses of what he can add.

Lookman Slams Atalanta Behavior in Inter Negotiation
Ademola Lookman made his feelings known via social media by openly asking out and citing unfilled promises after Atalanta formally rejected a €45M package from Inter. According to Mediaset, the Nigerian star and La Dea aren't on the same page about the conditions of his departure. The attacker and his camp believed he could leave for €40M. Instead, the hierarchy wants to sell him to a top foreign team. They haven't countered the recent bid by setting an asking price. The counterparty won't make more moves until that happens. In addition, they have to give part of the income to RB Leipzig. Inter are well aware that Lookman wishes to join them and isn't accepting other destinations for the time being. Despite their intention not to turn it into a saga, they haven't abandoned the pursuit and pivoted toward other forwards. Per Fabrizio Romano (via SOSFanta), in terms of fallback options, the Nerazzurri have done the most homework on Christopher Nkunku. He's on his way out from Chelsea, but he's more expensive considering his wages. Jadon Sancho is also an option until he doesn't head elsewhere. The Orobici ace has the same agents as Karim Adeyemi, but they haven't discussed the Borussia Dortmund cornerstone yet. He wants to stay despite the rumors. Our Take on Inter, Lookman, and Atalanta It's déjà vu with the Teun Koopmeiners ordeal, and the Bergamaschi might be strategically captious with entourages. Considering the fees circulating nowadays and his contractual situation, they have no reason to facilitate his exit and could easily demand a lot more than what has transpired so far. After all, their obstinacy has paid dividends more often than not.

Feeney was a third-round pick by the Chargers in 2017 and he started 57 games while playing guard and center over four seasons with the team. Feeney has also played for the Jets and Bears.
