Hello and welcome to Stamford Bridge where Chelsea host Lyon in their final pre-season match ahead of the opening day of the Premier League campaign on Saturday. So far it has been a bit of an odd summer for the Blues with a change of head coach so late in the day and then in the past two days the saga of whether or not Thibaut Courtois will remain a Chelsea player. That now seems very unlikely with Kepa Arrizabalaga set to replace him, but obviously far too late for the final game of the International Champions Cup tonight at Chelsea's home. This is the final chance for Sarri to check out the entirety of his squad ahead of the trip to the John Smith's Stadium and the last chance for those fringe players to push for a place in his starting XI.

Just two days after being comfortably beaten 2-0 by Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley, a much-changed Chelsea side struggled to gain control on their International Champions Cup friendly against French giants Lyon. With Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri only having been in charge for a few weeks, the Blues were hardly expected to dazzle and blow the 18,457-strong crowd who had made it to Stamford Bridge on a hot, humid and drizzly Tuesday evening. Second-half substitutes brought with them an improved performance after a dour first half, although no goals which forced the friendly to penalties. That was won by Eden Hazard after substitute Rob Green denied Pape Cheikh Diop to hand Chelsea a 5-4 penalty shoot-out victory just days before their Premier League opener against Huddersfield.

C helsea capped off their pre-season by beating Lyon 5-4 on penalties at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night. Just two days after being comfortably beaten 2-0 by Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley, a much-changed Chelsea side struggled to gain control on their International Champions Cup friendly against French giants Lyon. With Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri only having been in charge for a few weeks, the Blues were hardly expected to dazzle and blow the 18,457-strong crowd who had made it to Stamford Bridge on a hot, humid and drizzly Tuesday evening. But perhaps Chelsea supporters would have expected to see more control of possession, as is usual with Sarri teams, but instead they saw Lyon dominate the ball and have the best chance of the first half. Action Images via Reuters That came when Houssem Aouar drove a low shot inches wide of Marcin Bulka's goal, who was standing in for the absent Thibaut Courtois who has not yet returrned for training. Despite pre-game attention focusing on Courtois and Chelsea's pursuit of potential replacement, Athletic Bilbao's Kepa Arrizabalaga, Bulka did well as did Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who so often drove Chelsea's attacks forward with style and precision. Willian, who captained the side in the first half, provided a light for Chelsea fans one minute before the break when he drove a free-kick toward goal, which Anthony Lopes saved. AFP/Getty Images With the first half ending goalless, Sarri decided to make wholesale changes in the second period - bringing on World Cup winners Olivier Giroud and N'Golo Kante while Eden Hazard returned to much applause. The substitutes brought with them an improved performance, though no goals, which forced the friendly to penalties. AFP/Getty Images
