Given the 4-0 loss to London rivals last time out, Thomas Tuchel made it obvious that he wants a reaction with the start of the new Premier League campaign just over a week away now.
The Blues have had a mixed bag of results, having beaten Club America and lost a penalty shoot-out against Charlotte before the loss to Arsenal.
Summer signings Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling have already made their pre-season debuts for the club. They will both hope to get a good amount of minutes under their belt to get comfortable playing with their new teammates.
Armando Broja and Billy Gilmour, who left early from the camp in America, traveled with the squad and the latter was able to get a few minutes in the 3-1 defeat of the Italian side Udinese.
The game with Udinese ended in 3-1 in Chelsea’s favor. The Blues had a lot more of the ball and used it to their advantage in the first half, scoring twice – and that felt too few considering the number of chances they had.

Udinese hit back in the final minutes, with Mendy’s shot-stopping concerns emerging again.
The second half started with more of the same, but the Blues failed to find the net for a long time.
As time went by, it became evident that the players are not yet 100 percent fit as the game slowed down.
In the end, however, Chelsea found a third goal, with Hudson-Odoi providing a great cross for Mount.
Still, there’s a lot to be excited about, not in the least the interplay between Mount and Sterling – as well as the excellent form shown by Kante.
Goals from N’Golo Kante, Raheem Sterling, and Mason Mount were enough to do the damage.
