Welcome to the U.S. Bank Stadium for the International Champions Cup clash between AC Milan and Chelsea.
Both teams have endured mixed pre-seasons thus far, and are just a couple of weeks away from starting their campaigns proper.
The Premier League side start their season at home to West Ham on August 15, while Milan host Torino six days later in Serie A.
Milan were beaten by Liverpool last time out, while Antonio Conte's Chelsea suffered a 3-2 loss to Real Madrid.

Numerous changes to the Milan XI beaten by Liverpool, with Donnarumma taking Gabriel's place in goal, Paletta coming in for Vergara and Calabria replacing Antonelli. Bertolacci, Montolivo and Zanellato make way for Kucka, Poli and Bonaventura.

We're not too far away from kick-off at the U.S. Bank Stadium.
HALF-TIME: AC MILAN 1-1 CHELSEA
A fine half and the teams are locked at 1-1. Traore put Chelsea ahead with a close-range header after Milan had made the better start of the two sides. Montella's men created their own problems in possession before deservedly equalising seven minutes before the break. Bonaventura levelled with a stunning free-kick to bring his side level.
FULL-TIME: AC MILAN 1-3 CHELSEA
Oscar came off the bench to be the hero for Chelsea as they claimed a 3-1 win. The Brazilian was clinical twice – firstly with an excellent penalty and then a fantastic low finish. Traore and Bonaventura had traded first-half goals, with the latter cancelling out the opener with a superb free-kick. But Chelsea were dominant in the second half and deserved their win, while they also saw Kante make his debut.
