Paris Saint-Germain will look to make it three wins from three in the International Champions Cup on Saturday, though Chelsea should prove to be their toughest opponents yet. Laurent Blanc's side have already seen off Benfica and Fiorentina, though José Mourinho's reigning Premier League champions will be out to halt the French club's promising pre-season.

However, if they are to do so, the Blues will have to make a big improvement from their surprise defeat to the New York Red Bulls in their opening friendly. They went down 4-2 to the MLS club, leading Mourinho to blast his players in the aftermath. If they don’t improve, they’re going to have a tough time beating the confident Parisians.
Fun Paris Saint-Germain fringe player to watch: Jean-Kévin Augustin
PSG’s 18-year-old striker Jean-Kévin Augustin has seized his opportunity to impress Laurent Blanc, with the Frenchman having netted three times in his hometown club’s first couple of friendlies. He’ll presumably be given more game time against Chelsea, and will be looking to stake a claim to play more often for the Ligue 1 club this season.
Fun Chelsea fringe player to watch: Bertrand Traoré
Chelsea fans should have all eyes on Burkina Faso’s Bertrand Traoré, who is one of the most exciting talents to emerge from Africa of late. It’s telling that Mourinho started Traoré in a very strong Chelsea team against the Red Bulls -- he clearly thinks he’s ready to feature more regularly.
Compared to other friendlies, is this worth my time?
It’s two big clubs, though without many new signings to get excited about. 5/10.
