Chelsea kicks off the 2022/23 campaign with a preseason match against Club America, here is how The Pride of London team sees the friendly playing out.

For those of us attending the match, touring the spectacle that is Allegiant Stadium is just important. Frankly, the match is just a 90-minute interlude preventing the players from fully leaning into the trappings of Sin City, or it will at least delay the inevitable. Even in preseason mood, the Blues will prove to be too much for Club America. The game doesn’t have any significance whatsoever, so the players aren’t pressured at all. No significance in the result at all. Raheem Sterling was unveiled as the club’s first signing of the summer as the team trained in the heat at UCLA. Now, it’s wheels up to Las Vegas. Kalidou Koulibaly—the second summer signing—joined up with the team in the City of Lights. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that either Koulibaly or Sterling features during the team’s first preseason contest on Saturday evening, but don’t rule out appearances midweek against Charlotte FC. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though.

For me, where possible, Tuchel is likely to give the most minutes to players who have been training from the very first week of pre-season. Fans like me have been waiting for the day he appears in Chelsea blue, and the time is now. Levi Colwill, Ethan Ampadu, Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja and Harvey Vale could all remain a part of the first-team squad and add value. It's a no-brainer to have him in the starting lineup alongside Ethan Ampadu providing he is fit. A breath of fresh air on that left-hand side would reinstall the confidence that he is fully fit and ready for the season. Armando Broja has also joined the squad, making it a now 31-man squad for Tuchel to pick from.

Here is where to watch Chelsea's first pre-season friendly against Mexican side Club America.

They are in a different physical situation to us with their season. There’s been a group that have come back before us and been training for the past week so they are in good form.
