Palmeiras have been very impressive with the Brazil giants keeping three clean sheets in their four games so far and they battled to victory against fellow Brazilians Botafogo to reach the quarterfinals. Their star young winger Estevao Willian will be joining Chelsea after the Club World Cup and is able to play against the Blues, so that is a storyline to keep on eye on.

After shock defeats for Inter Milan and Manchester City the bracket has opened up for Enzo Maresca's Chelsea and they are the favorites to reach the final.

Palmeiras team news, focus
Gustavo Gomez will be unavailable after being sent off in extra time in the last 16 and losing one of their starting center backs is a blow. Palmeiras are solid and reliable and will be really tough for Chelsea to break down. Palmeiras have won the Brazilian Serie A in 2022 and 2023 and the Copa Libertadores in 2020 and 2021, and they're showing their pedigree as a team who are used to winning trophies. They will not be fazed by this occasion and their fans will once again turn out in huge numbers.
Chelsea team news, focus
Maresca will be without star central midfielder Moises Caicedo due to suspension and that is a massive loss. Caicedo has been exceptional in this tournament, and for most of the last 18 months, and it will be intriguing to see how Maresca lines the Blues up without the Ecuadorian enforcer. Romeo Lavia and Enzo Fernandez will start in central midfield with Reece James perhaps joining them in midfield and Malo Gusto coming in at right back but tucking inside. Chelsea have looked really good in this tournament and have added extra wrinkles to their hybrid midfield and wing-back system. Liam Delap is likely to start up top once again and the duo of Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto look certain to start just behind him.
Palmeiras vs Chelsea prediction
This will be tight and tense and could go to extra time, but Chelsea's extra attacking options will be too much for Palmeiras to control. Palmeiras 1-2 Chelsea.

Guirassy scores twice and Dortmund advances at Club World Cup with 2-1 win over feisty Monterrey
Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) — Serhou Guirassy scored a pair of first-half goals, both assisted by Karim Adeyemi, and Borussia Dortmund held off Monterrey 2-1 Tuesday night in the final round of 16 game at the Club World Cup. Guirassy drove a shot just inside the left post in the 14th minute, then sent another past keeper Esteban Andrada in the 24th when left unmarked from 15 yards at the top of the penalty area. Both times, it was Adeyemi delivering the pass that set up Guirassy, a native of France who plays for Guinea's national team. The 29-year-old striker has three goals in four tournament games and 37 across all competitions in his first season with Dortmund. Dortmund will face Real Madrid on Saturday at East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Spanish power advanced with a 1-0 victory over Italy's Juventus in an afternoon match. Jobe Bellingham received a yellow card in the 28th minute and will miss the match against Real – and his brother, former Dortmund star Jude Bellingham — because of yellow card accumulation. Rayados, cheered by a large contingent of flag-waving supporters in Atlanta, bounced back from the sluggish start to make a game of it. Less than three minutes into second half, a cross to the far post deflected off the head of a Dortmund defender before Erick Aguirre headed it back across the net to German Berterame, who headed it in to cut the deficit to a single goal. Using their speed to attack Dortmund vertically, Monterrey dominated the second half and had several chances to level the score. But the German team held on, despite the Mexican squad holding a 59% edge in possession and a 7-3 advantage in shots on goal. The late game drew a crowd of 31,442 at cavernous Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where the upper deck wasn't needed. But the sweltering U.S. heat wasn't an issue with the roof closed in Atlanta. American Gio Reyna did not play for the third time in four games at the Club World Cup, another sign that his tenure with Dortmund could be winding down. Key moment Dortmund started strongly, thanks to a nifty flick from Adeyemi at the top of the area that set up Guirassy's opening goal. Takeaways Dortmund's victory means five of the eight clubs in the quarterfinals are from Europe. Monterrey was the last club left from North America. ___ AP soccer:

Dortmund 2 Monterrey 1 – Suspended Jobe misses Bellingham derby with Jude, fans warned over homophobic chant at Club World Cup
A frustrated Jobe Bellingham will miss out on a first competitive meeting with brother Jude after being booked in Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 win over Monterrey in their Club World Cup last 16 game. Earlier in the day Jude Bellingham helped Real Madrid defeat Juventus 1-0 to set up a potential quarter-final against his brother at MetLife, New Jersey, on Saturday. Advertisement And that fixture looked odds on when Serhou Guirassy scored twice in the first 20 minutes to put the German side in control, only for Jobe to pick up a needless booking three minutes later. Jobe was booked against Ulsan in group stage, with two bookings in the tournament leading to a one-game ban. Monterrey pulled one back three minutes into the second half through German Berterame, who had a second ruled out for offside as the Mexican side pinned Dortmund back. Ultimately, Dortmund held out, meaning there will be no reunion for Sergio Ramos, the Monterrey captain, with Real Madrid, the club he represented 671 times over 16 seasons, with the 39-year-old heading a late chance wide. The game was also marred by a homophobic chant with FIFA saying it was aware that some Monterrey supporters had shouted a slur at the opposition goalkeeper during his run-up to take goal kicks. A message was displayed towards the end of the game saying the match may have to be suspended. Here The Athletic's Mark Carey, Felipe Cardenas and Oliver Kay break down the key talking points. Rip up the paper, scrunch it up in a ball, and throw it in the bin. The story of the Bellingham brothers playing a first competitive game against each other at the Club World Cup will not be happening. Jobe came into the game knowing that brother Jude and Real Madrid were waiting for the winner of this game but that a yellow card would suspend him for Dortmund's quarter-final clash should they qualify. After 27 minutes, with Dortmund already 2-0 up, Jobe tracked Monterrey's Nelson Deossa down the line with the Colombian going nowhere, before a needless late foul brought a caution that he could have avoided. The change in his body language was visceral, knowing the consequences of such a split-second decision. Jobe looked crestfallen as he saw referee Facundo Tello following him with a yellow card and it deprives the competition of what would have been a fascinating contest. The frustration remained when Jobe was substituted on 55 minutes. Just over two years younger, Jobe's path to Dortmund has followed in the footsteps of Jude but they share much of each others' games. Not only do they operate in similar positions, but it's the gait, the running style, the stature. Jobe's tendency to ghost into the box unmarked has been a hallmark of his older brother's, with the 19-year-old arguably more of a box-to-box profile if you were forced to offer differences between their traits. Advertisement A shame for the Bellingham family, of course — but given that the pair will be playing Champions League football next season, you would not bet against a family clash occurring in the near future. Mark Carey Late in the first half, with Monterrey down 2-0, Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel prepared to take a goal kick. After he sent the ball downfield, one section of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium crowd yelled a discriminatory chant that has, unfortunately, become synonymous with Mexican football. The homophobic chant grew louder in the second half each time Kobel sent a dead ball downfield. According to a FIFA representative on site in Atlanta, there is a protocol in place to first address that type of crowd behaviour and then respond to it. The objective is to give the referee the ability 'to take escalating action when such incidents occur among fans or participants.' Per FIFA, such measures are part of a new FIFA disciplinary code that has been implemented for the Club World Cup. FIFA has been criticised by anti-discrimination campaigners after football's world governing body appeared to roll back messages challenging racism or discrimination at the Club World Cup in the U.S.. After Monterrey cut the Dortmund's lead to 2-1, the crowd became even more energized and the chant was heard again. It continued throughout the second half but referee Facundo Torre allowed play to continue. In second half stoppage time, an anti-discrimination message was played over the stadium's loudspeakers. Felipe Cardenas Death, taxes, and Serhou Guirassy scoring a goal when he takes to the field. We really are in that territory of inevitability with the Guinea international in the past couple of years, with his two goals against Monterrey making it 37 for the season in all competitions as he set Borussia Dortmund on their way to secure their place into the quarter-finals. Advertisement The two finishes were clinical on Tuesday evening, both tucked into the corner of the goal with conviction and purpose as he opened his body up to fire past Monterrey goalkeeper, Esteban Andrada. In fairness, Guirassy's team-mates are under no illusion in serving him the ball, with no player having had more shots than the 29-year-old's 15 in this summer's tournament. For those who might not be Bundesliga fans, Guirassy has been one of the most clinical finishers in Germany in the past two seasons. If not for the other-worldly numbers from Bayern Munich's Harry Kane, the 29-year-old would have two Torjagerkanone's (Bundesliga top goalscorer trophy) on his mantelpiece. A tally of 28 league goals for Stuttgart in 2023-24 earned Guirassy his move to Dortmund last summer, with 21 league goals in his first campaign made all the more impressive when considering Dortmund's disappointing season overall. Collectively in that time, Guirassy's attacking rate has equated to exactly one goal per game in Germany. For Dortmund, all roads lead to Guirassy — and with good reason. Mark Carey And so the quarter-final line-up is complete. On one side of the draw, there is Palmeiras vs Chelsea on Friday afternoon, followed by Fluminense vs Al Hilal. On the other, there is Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich on Saturday afternoon, followed by Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund. It makes for a reasonable geographic spread: while there is the expected majority from Europe (two from Germany and one apiece from England, France and Spain), there are also two teams from Brazil and one from Saudi Arabia. One European finalist is guaranteed, but on the other side of the draw it is Chelsea vs the rest of the world. On tonight's evidence, Dortmund have to be considered outsiders. They rushed into a 2-0 lead with two delightful link-ups between Adeyemi and Guirassy, but they ended up grateful for some wasteful finishing from a spirited Monterrey side. Real Madrid might not be so forgiving. Oliver Kay Monterrey looked to be completely out of the match at half-time. Ramos put his hands on his hips and looked demoralised as he led his team into the tunnel. But it seemed like an inspired speech had taken place inside the Monterrey dressing room. Berterame's close-range header after a brief scramble inside the Dortmund penalty area cut the score to 2-1. Advertisement The partisan Monterrey crowd, which included neutrals in Inter Miami jerseys, turned Mercedes-Benz Stadium into a home ground for the Liga MX side. The crowd roared with each progressive pass. Monterrey's bench stood and watched a portion of the second half like cheerleaders as manager Domenec Torrent urged his side forward. The comeback was on. 'Sí se puede!' (It's possible!) was sung throughout the stadium. With the pride of North American football on the line, Monterrey showed great grit to put the Bundesliga side on their heels for the better part of the second half. Despite the result, it was a positive display on the field for Mexican football. Felipe Cardenas

Guirassy double as Dortmund down Monterrey to reach Club World Cup quarters
Borussia Dortmund's Guinean forward Serhou Guirassy celebrates scoring his team's first goal in the hard-fought win over Monterrey (Franck FIFE) Serhou Guirassy continued his superb form to fire Borussia Dortmund to a 2-1 win over Sergio Ramos's Monterrey and into the Club World Cup quarter-finals on Monday. The striker scored twice in the first half and Bundesliga powerhouses Dortmund then held off the Mexican side in a battling second after German Berterame's quick strike. Advertisement Former Real Madrid great Ramos had a golden chance to equalise at the end but headed wide, meaning it is Dortmund who go on to face the Spanish giants in the last eight after they beat Juventus earlier on. After grinding through several games in the blazing afternoon sun during the group stage, Dortmund were grateful to be at the air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz Stadium and played at a faster pace in Atlanta. Monterrey coach Domenec Torrent warned his side they had to defend diligently to have a hope of beating Dortmund, but the Germans picked the locks too easily to open the scoring in the 14th minute. Guirassy exchanged quick passes with Karim Adeyemi on the edge of the box to confuse defender Jorge Rodríguez, and then tucked a slick finish home at the near post. Advertisement The 29-year-old Guinea international, who finished as joint-top scorer in the UEFA Champions League this season, netted his second 10 minutes later. Jesus Corona came close to levelling by accident in between, but his cross bounced back off the post. Guirassy climbed to 37 goals for the season across all competitions as he was once more teed up by the darting Adeyemi, stroking home from the edge of the box. Dortmund coach Niko Kovac anticipated Monterrey playing with aggression but his side put in the harder tackles in the first half and Jobe Bellingham was booked for needlessly flying in on Colombian playmaker Nelson Deossa. Advertisement It means he will not be able to face his older brother Jude Bellingham in the quarter-final showdown against Real. Guirassy let Monterrey off the hook when he might have netted a third and Adeyemi's touch was loose when he got in behind. - Ramos comes close - Monterrey, who earned an impressive draw against Inter Milan in the group phase, were dangerous going forward but Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel stayed alert to keep Corona at bay before the break. The Swiss stopper could do nothing about Berterame heading home from close range early in the second half as Monterrey came out forcefully. The forward, who netted twice against Urawa Red Diamonds in his team's last group match, reacted quickest to a rebound which sent the ball looping his way. Advertisement Kobel made another solid save to thwart former Porto star Corona, who appealed in vain for a penalty when he felt he had been shoved over from behind by the hulking Niklas Suele as he ran through. Berterame did beat Kobel with a drilled effort into the far corner but the goal was ruled out for offside against the Mexico international, with the noisier portion of the 31,000 attending left groaning. Dortmund were far quieter in attack in the second half and Guirassy snatched at another chance to complete a hat-trick on a rare forray forward as Monterrey fans chanted "yes we can". As the clock ticked down Torrent threw Ramos up front, desperate for some last-gasp magic from the 39-year-old. Advertisement Sporting the number 93 on his back, harking back to his famous 2014 Champions League final goal for Real Madrid to deny rivals Atletico, the Spaniard came inches away with a header in stoppage time which dropped agonisingly wide. rbs/as
