Johor Darul Ta’zim are the Malaysian Super League champions and the Xisco Munoz-led side will be at home, which the report describes as an added advantage for them. They have featured in two club friendly encounters over the last two weeks, both against Spanish clubs. The article states Johor Darul Tazim will now be bringing a strong fight to the English top-division club.
Chelsea are coming in after securing an easy win against AC Milan, a performance the piece calls "top-notch" by the Xabi Alonso-led side. The report adds Chelsea struggled with their defence in their first three pre-season games but produced a well-organised display in their most recent outing.
The preview notes a potential overhaul of Chelsea’s starting XI for the trip, saying stars such as Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo each played for more than 85 minutes against Milan and might not be named in the squad for the Malaysian fixture.
