Udinese 1-3 Chelsea: How to watch, date, kick-off time and live stream
Chelsea face Udinese tonight as their difficult preparations for the new Premier League season wrap up with a final pre-season friendly in Italy.
It’s Thomas Tuchel’s last chance to test his players in a match situation ahead of the new campaign, which begins for Chelsea away to former boss Frank Lampard and Everton on August 6.
The Blues will be glad to have brought an end to their gruelling USA tour, which brought defeats to Arsenal and Charlotte and plenty of frustration for the Chelsea boss.
The transfer business continues in the background, with the Blues desperate to add to their defensive ranks, but this evening the focus will return to matters on the pitch.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Udinese vs Chelsea is scheduled for an 8pm WAT kick-off time tonight, Friday, July 29, 2022.
Dacia Arena – or the Stadio Friuli – in Udine will host the match.

Chelsea team news
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and N’Golo Kante were unable to travel to America so this will be their first chance to be involved in a pre-season match with their team-mates, and Tuchel is likely to take the opportunity to give the pair minutes in what should be a strong team in the final pre-season match.
Kalidou Koulibaly featured off the bench against Arsenal and will be pushing for his first start in a Chelsea shirt, while Raheem Sterling is also expected to be involved.
Cesar Azpilicueta continues to be heavily linked with a move to Barcelona, so Tuchel has a decision to make over whether or not he involves the Spaniard.

Jamie Carragher has cautioned Antonio Conte he should address Tottenham’s embarrassing record at Stamford Bridge assuming that they are to become serious Premier League competitors.
Assumptions are high for Spurs this season, with a solid completion last season to get Champions League football upheld by a bustling summer of move action. Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and Ivan Perisic are among those to have arrived in north London.
Conte’s side came from behind to beat Southampton 4-1 in their opening match of the season, and they face an early test of their credentials with a trip to face Chelsea on Sunday.
Tottenham have won just once at Stamford Bridge since the inaugural Premier League season in 1992. That came in 2018, when Dele Alli scored twice in a 3-1 win, and Conte was in the home dugout as Chelsea boss.
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s clash, Carragher hit out at Spurs’ record at the ground, though he believes Conte could be the man to change it after the Italian led his side to draw at Anfield and victory away to Manchester City last season.
“I think we’ll see a lot of what Spurs are about today,” Carragher said.
“You’ve mentioned how many times they’ve won [at Stamford Bridge]. It’s embarrassing – two top teams, in London, to come here and only win once in the Premier League era.
“That’s what Antonio Conte has to change. If you look at the record last season against Liverpool and Manchester City, he got really big results.”

Chelsea battle Tottenham today as a fierce London rivalry is renewed early in the new Premier League season.
While repeating his Premier League title-winning exploits with Chelsea at Spurs might be hugely difficult for Antonio Conte given the sky-high standards that both Manchester City and Liverpool have set, Spurs are expected to fight towards the summit of the top-flight this term.
Last season, that position belonged to Chelsea, although so much has changed for Thomas Tuchel since then.

Talking his disappointment at Manchester United’s 4-0 misfortune to Brentford this Saturday, Erik ten Hag said in his post-match interview: “Difficult for me and a surprise. The team has to take the responsibility and I feel sorry for the fans, we let them down.
“I asked them [the players] to play with belief and take responsibility, that is what they didn’t do.
“Only when we stick together we will overcome it — don’t get me wrong, the manager is the main responsibility and I take that but I have to give them belief and they have to get it by themselves.
“Mistakes are part of football, you have to keep going but you have [to] especially act — It [three subs at half-time] was about bringing fresh ones. I could have changed all eight others as well.”
Ten Hag has plainly not kept down in his evaluation and United just have themselves to fault for this wreck.
The Red Devils are currently winless in their first two Premier League games, having conceded six goals as of now.
