Chelsea take on French top-flight opposition in our final pre-season fixture, and supporters are encouraged to come along and get behind Sarri and his players as they look to secure a positive result ahead of our opening Premier League fixture against Huddersfield.



As well as the game providing fans with the opportunity to welcome Sarri to Stamford Bridge, new assistant first team coach and club legend Gianfranco Zola will take his place in the home dugout for the first time since returning as part of the new manager’s backroom team. Always a firm favourite with the fans, Zola is sure to be given the reception he deserves following a glittering seven-year playing career with the Blues.

Sarri was joined at Stamford Bridge by midfielder Jorginho, the first of our summer signings whom he worked with at Napoli. Goalkeeper Rob Green is another new addition and both players could feature in the game.

Our former forward Bertrand Traore, scorer of four goals for the Blues during the 2015/16 campaign, is now a Lyon player and may also be involved.

Tickets are now on general sale (maximum four per person) and can be purchased by clicking here.
