Chelsea vs Malaysia XI July 21, 2013

Chelsea's Asian preseason tour moves to Malaysia as the Blues take on a Malaysia XI side on Sunday.

The club had a bit of a hard time against Singha All-Stars, but its 1-0 win was much better than the 1-0 loss Manchester United suffered against the same team earlier this summer.

With Chelsea making some moves this summer and welcoming in players from loan, the preseason is a great chance for Jose Mourinho to get an idea of which players he'll be calling upon in the upcoming season. Everybody knows how important the likes of Juan Mata, Ashley Cole, Petr Cech, Eden Hazard and Ramires will be. There are a lot of players, though, whose roles in the club are still up in the air.

Although you can't read too much into preseason friendlies, it's much better for supporters to see the club show some cohesion on the pitch and the younger players start establishing themselves.

Here's the viewing info for Chelsea's upcoming friendly with Malaysia XI, followed by three players to watch.



When: Sunday, July 21, at 2:45 BST (9:45 a.m. ET)
