While the Blues recently celebrated glory in the Premier League Summer Series, BVB are seeking to extend their perfect record in pre-season.
After a thrilling 4-3 win over Brighton and a 1-1 draw with Newcastle, Chelsea entered Sunday's clash with West London rivals Fulham needing to claim maximum points to climb above Aston Villa to the top of the table, and they achieved that with a 2-0 success in Maryland courtesy of first-half goals from Thiago Silva and new recruit Christopher Nkunku.
Mauricio Pochettino has taken plenty of positives from Chelsea's PL Summer Series triumph and has been particularly impressed with how forwards Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson have thrived since joining from RB Leipzig and Villarreal respectively earlier this summer – while Nkunku's strike against Fulham was his third in pre-season, Jackson has scored two goals in as many starts for the Blues.
In a week that has seen Chelsea fined £8.6m by UEFA for breaching Financial Fair Play rules, the big-spending West Londoners have stepped up their efforts to strengthen Pochettino's squad further after allegedly agreeing deals to sign Monaco centre-back Axel Disasi and Rennes midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, although the latter is expected to immediately head out on loan.
