Enzo Maresca's team have had a somewhat shaky start to the high-stakes competition on American soil. Their opening match against LAFC saw them scrape a 2-0 victory, despite the MLS side squandering numerous opportunities. The Blues then suffered a 3-1 defeat to Flamengo, following Nicolas Jackson's rash tackle which reduced them to 10 men. The West London club regained their footing against Esperance, with new recruit Liam Delap netting his first goal for Chelsea in a 3-0 triumph over the Tunisian team. Despite finishing second in their group, Chelsea fortuitously dodged a showdown with Bayern Munich. However, they now face a formidable Benfica team who edged out Vincent Kompany's Bundesliga champions to secure top spot in Group C, reports the Mirror. When does Chelsea vs Benfica kick off? The Chelsea vs Benfica match is set to commence at 9pm UK time (4pm local time) in Charlotte, North Carolina. The match will be held at the Bank of America Stadium, home to NFL titans the Carolina Panthers, and capable of accommodating 74,867 spectators. Where can you watch Chelsea vs Benfica?

Meanwhile, Benfica are anticipated to have their entire team ready for the quarter-final.

Chelsea offered chance to sign Manchester United transfer target for £45m
Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign Manchester United transfer target Emiliano Martinez for £45million. The Aston Villa goalkeeper looks set to leave this summer after five years with the Midlands club. Unai Emery is reluctant to lose the Argentina international but Villa could be forced into a sale in order to meet PSR, according to The Mirror. Chelsea have chopped and changed goalkeepers over the course of the last few years but are no closer to establishing a No.1. Robert Sanchez has flattered to deceive since his move from Brighton and has lost his place in the side under both Mauricio Pochettino and Enzo Maresca. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. Djordje Petrovic impressed briefly stepping in for Sanchez under Pochettino but was loaned out to Strasbourg last season and is likely to complete a permanent move to the French club. Chelsea spent £24m on Filip Jorgensen 12 months ago, but he too has been unable to convince Maresca he is worthy of becoming the No.1. United's plans for their goalkeeping department remain unclear, meanwhile, with Andre Onana's future a matter of speculation. The Cameroon international joined from Inter two years ago for a fee of close to £50m but he has proved an inadequate successor to David de Gea. A string of high-profile errors has seen United lose faith in the 29-year-old who has been heavily linked with a move. 'Will I leave? I don't know, we'll see!' Onana said, according Actu Cameroun, earlier this month with Monaco the latest club to be linked to his services. United are reported to believe that Martinz would favour a move to Old Trafford but Ruben Amorim's priorities reportedly lie elsewhere. The Red Devils have already recruited Matheus Cunha from Wolves and are locked in negotiations with Brentford over the transfer of Bryan Mbeumo. United would also want at least £35m for Onana which has opened the door for Chelsea to make their move. Villa, for their part, are eyeing up a mvoe for Royal Antwerp's Senne Lammens, but there are a number of other clubs tracking the 22-year-old, including United.
