Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich will take on Premier League champions Chelsea in their International Champions Cup 2017 clash today. Here are five reasons why you should not miss this football match.


>> It will be clash between the two Italian managers in Singapore as Chelsea take on Bayern Munich in the International Champions Cup

>> Chelsea were thoroughly impressive as they beat Arsenal 3-0 on Saturday afternoon, but they have stiffer opponents ahead as they meet Bayern Munich

1. Chelsea to introduce Morata
Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte made it clear that Alvaro Morata will be his first-choice striker and he will be donning the blues for the first time. Though Lukaku, Lacazette and Salah have already netted for their respective clubs, pressure will be on Morata to mark his presence in the new club

2. James Debut for Bayern
James Rodriguez could be on the starting line-up for German champions, whose coach, Carlo Ancelotti, won the English Premier League and FA Cup double with the Blues in 2009/10. James was touted to go to Man Utd but a last moment deal saw him travel to Munich

3. Chelsea’s Dominance
Goals from Willian and Batshuayi gave the Blues the dominant win over the Gunners. They would be in no mood to relieve any pressure and would look like to keep up that momentum against the Bavarians

4. The 5th Meeting
Just 4 meetings have taken place between these team, three of which came in the UEFA Champions League. The other meeting was in the UEFA Super Cup. The last two matches these sides have played have gone to penalties, with each side splitting the spoils

5. Team Forms
Chelsea is on winning spree, having won four games and only a loss in their last five matches. Bayern have a loss, a draw, and three wins in their last five matches. Both teams would be looking to cash in on their momentum.
