Chelsea faces a crucial test against Club America in their third pre-season friendly, and for some players, this game is a make-or-break opportunity to prove themselves to new manager Enzo Maresca.
After a mixed bag of results so far, including a draw against Wrexham and a defeat to Celtic, the Blues are eager to bounce back and show signs of improvement.
Among the squad, several players have something to prove, and we've identified three individuals who could steal the show tonight.
Kiernan Dewsbury
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been sidelined since joining Chelsea due to injury, but Enzo Maresca has confirmed he'll feature in tonight's game.
This could be a crucial moment for the midfielder, as he looks to establish himself under his former boss from Leicester City.
With Manchester City looming on the horizon, Dewsbury-Hall needs to make a strong impression to solidify his place in the starting XI.
Marc Guiu
Marc Guiu has already impressed in pre-season, despite being an unknown quantity before joining the club.
With Nicolas Jackson's injury woes persisting, Guiu will likely lead the line again tonight.
As Victor Osimhen's potential arrival continues to dominate the headlines, Guiu will be eager to score his first goal for Chelsea and prove he's a viable option for the striker role.
Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling has yet to start a game this summer, but tonight offers him a chance to redeem himself. Despite rumors linking him with a departure, Sterling remains committed to working under Enzo Maresca and has already made an impact off the bench against Celtic.
With Tyrique George waiting in the wings, Sterling should be given the opportunity to start and silence any doubters.
