Here are the five main reasons why you should not miss Chelsea vs Inter Milan:
1. Recent Encounters
Chelsea have only faced Inter in a competitive setting twice in their history, with both of those encounters coming over a two-legged Champions League Last 16 tie in 2010. The Nerazzuri, then managed by Jose Mourinho, prevailed 3-1 on aggregate and finished the campaign by winning Italian football's first ever treble and Chelsea went on to claim a domestic double in record breaking fashion under the management of Carlo Ancelotti
2. Chelsea look to get back to winning ways
Chelsea look to get back to winning ways when they face Inter Milan in their next match at the International Champions Cup. Some poor defending saw the Blues succumb to a 3-2 loss against Bayern Munich
3. More from Morata
New striker Alvaro Morata made his unofficial Chelsea debut against Bayern and will be hoping to score his first goal in club colours against Inter.
4. Inter’s solid defense
Inter look pretty solid in the defense and Chelsea, who conceded three goals in the defeat against Bayern are expected to tighten things at the back. Therefore, one must expect a low turnout of goals in this fixture
5. Star players to watch out for
Ivan Perisic, Inters playmaker who is heavily linked with Manchester United, and Alvaro Morata who is yet to score his debut goal for Chelsea after his move from Real Madrid
