Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich, Int'l Champions Cup: Confirmed lineups

Chelsea's second televised pre-season friendly commences their participation in the International Champions' Cup, in which they will play two games. Today's opponents are Bayern Munich, against whom we famously won the Champions League in 2012 and also lost Romelu Lukaku the European Supercup the following year, although the latter is as competitive as the Community Shield.

It's the same as last time, except Jeremie Boga starts in place of the injured Pedro and Andreas Christensen in place of David Luiz. It should be interesting to assess how the pair slot in among an otherwise first-choice XI. We should be seeing our shiny, brand new new signing, Alvaro Morata in action at some point as well. Let's get hyped!
