Celtic complete the third leg of their USA tour on Saturday evening with another match against English Premier League opposition.
The Bhoys managed to overcome an impressed Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City team with a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night thanks to goals from Nicolas Kuhn, Kyogo Furuhashi and Luis Palma.
The Scottish champions now look to conquer Chelsea in South Bend, Indiana at Notre Dame’s iconic college football stadium.
Chelsea’s travelling group isn’t quite at full strength given player participation at international summer tournaments but more senior stars are involved than within the Man City squad.
