How to watch Chelsea vs Flamengo on DAZN (it's free)
The key game of Group D, Chelsea vs Flamengo will almost certainly decide who tops the standings (and avoids Bayern Munich in the next round). Former Blues vice-captain Jorginho now turns out in the red and black of the Mengao, and will bring a wealth of inside knowledge to his new team. You can watch Chelsea vs Flamengo live streams from anywhere with a VPN and for FREE. The Chelsea vs Flamengo live stream takes place on Friday, June 20. • Time: 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT / 7 p.m. BST / 4 a.m. AEST (Saturday)• FREE stream — DAZN (global)• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Luiz Araujo produced the goods as Flamengo eased to a 2-0 win over ES Tunis in their opener, but coach Filipe Luis — who also used to play for Chelsea — won't need telling that they couldn't have hoped for an easier start. Araujo's goal was a thing of beauty, and it will be up to Moises Caicedo to ensure he doesn't get that amount of time and space at the Linc on Friday. Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez helped Chelsea see off LAFC, but the performance left a lot to be desired, with the likes of Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke never getting out of first gear. Liam Delap's assist on debut was the biggest positive for Enzo Maresca's men, though Romeo Lavia in particular seemed to love the FIFA Club World Cup's individual walkouts. Both teams expressed their shock that their opening games were played in near-empty stadiums, and with this clash scheduled for 2 p.m. local time at a 67,000-seater arena, they'd better get used to it.

Martin Zubimendi in London to meet Arsenal officials ahead of Real Sociedad move
Martin Zubimendi is in London to meet Arsenal officials and complete the formalities of his transfer from Real Sociedad to the north London club. Arsenal have been working for a considerable time on a deal for the Spain international, who has a €60million (£51.7m; $63.4m) release clause in his contract with Sociedad. The Premier League club's pursuit of Zubimendi has been driven by head coach Mikel Arteta and was reinvigorated when the clubs were in talks over a deal for Mikel Merino to move to the Emirates Stadium last summer. As reported by The Athletic earlier this month, Real Madrid – now coached by former Sociedad player Xabi Alonso – admired Zubimendi but decided not to pursue a move for the player this summer. The Athletic reported on June 10 that Arsenal regarded the deal as done, despite noise around Real's interest. Advertisement In January, The Athletic reported Arsenal's plans for a summer bid for Zubimendi, who Liverpool had attempted to sign last summer, only for the Spaniard to remain in San Sebastian for the remainder of the campaign. Arteta's side, who reached the Champions League semi-finals this season and finished second in the Premier League, have struggled with injuries, particularly up front, and so an attacking signing in the summer is a priority. However, signing a midfielder such as Zubimendi is also important due to the departure of Jorginho to Flamengo and Thomas Partey's expiring contract. Talks have been held over a new deal for Partey. Zubimendi scored two goals and provided two assists in 36 La Liga appearances for Real Sociedad this season as they finished 11th. Analysis by Thom Harris A player born and raised in a city captivated by the football of Xabi Alonso, coached by the man himself, playing where he once played — Zubimendi couldn't be better placed to become the sport's next great pivote. For all the romanticism of his footballing upbringing — his destiny at the peak of the game — Zubimendi remains as grounded and as pragmatic as they come. With more touches, passes and carries than any other team-mate, he inspired his boyhood club to Champions League qualification in 2022-23 (they reached the round of 16 last term) anchoring a technically gifted Real Sociedad midfield with intuitive defensive positioning and expansive passing from deep. Generally, Real Sociedad like to start play from the back and they are not averse to playing short, risky passes around their own penalty area to lure the opposition in. Zubimendi is often the receiver, picking up the ball under pressure and facing his own goal. It's a role that requires not only immaculate technique, but quick and nerveless decision-making, ensuring the right pass — at the right speed, angle, and elevation — is played to allow his team-mates to progress the ball. It also needs confidence, but not too much, to occasionally look to sidestep the pressure himself. Zubimendi is the cog between the defence and the midfield – the spare man Real Sociedad need to win these mini-battles and move into the space that has been created by their brave, press-baiting build-up.

Jorginho gunning for old side Chelsea with Flamengo at Club World Cup
The 33-year-old Italy midfielder returned to the country of his birth earlier this month when he joined Rio de Janeiro powerhouses Flamengo on a three-year contract. That ended a long career in Europe, which began in Italy -- the land of his paternal great-grandfather -- 15 years ago and saw him star in Serie A for Hellas Verona and Napoli before a move to Chelsea in 2018. He made more than 200 appearances for the Stamford Bridge side, helping them win the Europa League in 2019 and Champions League in 2021. "It is nice to come up against a former team, and see old friends," Jorginho told reporters this week in Philadelphia, where Chelsea and Flamengo will meet at FIFA's new tournament. The two clubs are jostling for supremacy in Group D after both won their opening matches on Monday, with Flamengo defeating Esperance while Chelsea overcame Los Angeles FC. "I am ready to help in any way I can, on or off the field. It will be a really difficult game. We know how good a team they are and we will have to be prepared for it." Jorginho, who spent the last two and a half years at Arsenal, has joined a Flamengo side who are top of the Brazilian league and through to the knockout phase of the Copa Libertadores, a competition they last won in 2022. He will have to wait until next month to run out for his new team at the legendary Maracana in Rio, but his debut for Flamengo came in their 2-0 victory over Tunisian side Esperance in their opening Club World Cup game at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday. "I have not yet had the chance to play at the Maracana and I can't wait for that but I think it was a good debut for the whole team. The fans were right behind us as always. It has been easy for me to adapt and settle in," he said. Jorginho is working under another former Chelsea player in Filipe Luis, the 39-year-old who took over as coach late last year. Flamengo have real ambitions of making a big impact at the Club World Cup, with their experienced squad also featuring the likes of Danilo and Alex Sandro, two Brazilian international defenders who returned home after spells in Europe. Midfielder Gerson, striker Pedro, Chile's Erick Pulgar and Uruguay's Giorgian de Arrascaeta are others who add knowledge of top-level international football in South America. Flamengo are hoping to extend the impressive unbeaten record so far at the tournament for the six South American representatives -- four from Brazil and two from Argentina. "It is an important competition and those of us who are playing in it are privileged," said Jorginho, who has appeared over 50 times for Italy but grew up in Imbituba, a port town in southern Brazil. He believes his new team can go far at the competition, with Friday's game being followed by a meeting with Los Angeles FC in Orlando next Tuesday. Bayern Munich, Benfica and Boca Juniors are possible opponents in the last 16 if they make it through to the knockout phase. "I believe we have a chance of winning if we keep faith in our squad and in the work we are doing. Brazilian teams don't usually get to play against European teams and everyone is eager to see Flamengo compete."
