Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will play the final match of their Oceania tours on Saturday when competing in a preseason friendly in Sydney, Australia.
The London rivals have both already been in action down under. Chelsea’s bizarre 6–4 win over Western Sydney Wanderers secured a victorious start to the Xabi Alonso era, while Spurs beat Auckland FC in New Zealand, before being held to a 1–1 draw by Sydney FC.
Neither roster is at full strength, but it’s Chelsea who seemingly have the stronger options after a host of their first-team players missed out on World Cup call-ups. Tottenham might be more reliant on academy players plugging gaps in Roberto De Zerbi’s side.
Preseason has the capacity to throw up some chaotic, breathless affairs as players seek to impress their coaches. Supporters will be hoping that’s the case for this one.
Here’s how to catch the action on TV and streaming.

What’s Next for Chelsea, Tottenham?
Tottenham will be journeying back to north London once their battle with Chelsea concludes, offering them plenty of time to prepare before the new Premier League season. Friendlies against Getafe and Hoffenheim (twice) are to come on home soil.
Chelsea, however, are traveling across Asia for warmup matches with Italian giants Juventus and Milan, as well as Malaysian outfit Johor Darul Ta’zim. Alonso will then have a first chance to lead his new side out at Stamford Bridge in a final friendly against his former club Real Sociedad.
