Summary

Chelsea take on Real Sociedad in their final pre-season game at Stamford Bridge.
This is only the second time that the two teams will be facing each other, the first one being a friendly in 2014, where the Blues won 2-0.
Real Sociedad have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their six pre-season games so far.

Chelsea play their final pre-season friendly against the reigning Copa del Rey winners, Real Sociedad, at Stamford Bridge. Xabi Alonso faces his former side, where he started his youth career, and also his managerial career, incidentally.

The Spaniard has come a long way since then and is the new boss of Chelsea FC, who are chasing their glory days back after a disappointing 10th-place finish in the league last season. Their pre-season has been quite mixed so far, with two wins over AC Milan and Western Sydney Wanderers, two defeats against Juventus and Tottenham, and the latest being a 3-3 draw with Malaysian outfit Johor Darul Ta'zim.

Although the pre-season has highlighted some of the strongest aspects of Xabi Alonso's football, there's still a lot of work to do before the Premier League kicks off, and a convincing win over La Real would be the perfect way to do it. He is still looking to earn the goodwill of the Chelsea supporters, as he gears up for his final touch-up ahead of the new season.

Real Sociedad, too, have not had a decent pre-season under Pellegrino Matarazzo, as they have managed to bag only two wins against UEFA Super Cup runners-up Aston Villa and a Championship side, Wolves, three defeats against Pau FC, Toulouse, and FC Koln, along with one 1-1 draw against Racing Santander.

La Real have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of these six games, conceding two goals or more in their last three fixtures. However, both of their wins came against English opponents, and they will be hoping to bring out their best once again against the Blues.
