Reading vs Chelsea LIVE stream and TV channel: How to watch the pre-season friendly in UK

1/29
Joe Krishnan27 July 2019

Chelsea have returned to the UK after their successful pre-season tour of Japan to face Reading at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday.

Blues coach Frank Lampard will be impressed with what he saw as his side beat Barcelona 2-1 in Saitama, with Tammy Abraham and Ross Barkley both getting on the scoresheet against the Catalans.

With the Premier League season less than two weeks away, it's time for the 41-year-old to test out his favoured starting XI ahead of their opener against Manchester United on August 11.

Lampard will be without key midfielder N'Golo Kante as the Frenchman recovers from a knee injury, while Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek remain sidelined with Achilles injuries.

Reading will provide a stern test as they prepare for another season in the Championship guided by Portuguese manager Jose Gomes.
