Chelsea continues its pre-season preparations today in Hong Kong as they face Juventus in a friendly match. Under new manager Xabi Alonso, Chelsea has had a mixed start to the pre-season with surprising results.

• The team began with a thrilling 6-4 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers.
• However, they faced a setback against Tottenham, losing 2-1 after a late winner from Richarlison in extra time.

Alonso emphasized the need for improvement, stating, "we are at the stage of pre-season, so not where we want to be," during a press conference on Tuesday. Recent signings, including Jordan Henderson, Danny Welbeck, and winger Geovany Quenda, have joined the squad on their tour of Australia and Asia, and may feature against Juventus.

On the flip side, Juventus has had a solid pre-season campaign, securing a draw against Basel and victories over Standard Liege and OGC Nice. With both teams looking to fine-tune their squads before the season kicks off in three weeks, fans eagerly anticipate whether Juventus can overcome Chelsea this afternoon.
