A hero from the bench brought the win against Botafogo in the 1/8-final extra time. It was Paulinho who entered the pitch as a substitute and scored the winning goal. Now it’s up to the manager Ferreira to decide if Paulinho deserves a starting spot against Chelsea.

One of Palmeiras’ biggest stars, Estevao, will face his next team at the Lincoln Financial Field. The talented winger will move to Chelsea after the end of the Club World Cup. Now he has the chance to shine for Palmeiras for one last time.

Palmeiras’ midfield will be crucial against a team with Chelsea’s dynamics. It means that players like Emiliano Martinez and Richard Rios will have to show the best of their ability.

Chelsea News & Analysis

Chelsea’s manager, Enzo Maresca, has a problem before the 1/4-finals clash against Palmeiras. The centre-back Benoit Badiashile got injured against Benfica, so he’s missing the next match. Most likely, he will be replaced by Tosin Adarabioyo in the line-up.

Except for this, Maresca has another problem regarding Chelsea’s line-up. The central midfielder, Moises Caicedo, is missing the next match as well. The Colombian international got a yellow card against Benfica, which means he won’t play against Verdão. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could replace him and partner Romeo Lavia in the center of the pitch.

Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto will be the main threat to Palmeiras’ defence. These two players will support Liam Delap upfront while Enzo Fernandez often attacks any free space as well.
