A supercomputer conducted by BoyleSports, who offer the latest Club World Cup odds, has simulated matches 10,000 times to come to its results.

Chelsea are the heavy favourites to top their group featuring ES Tunis, Flamengo and Los Angeles FC.

But the number crunching machine reckons the Blues will finish second behind the Tunisian side.

That would see Enzo Maresca’s men face Benfica in the last-16, who are set to top a tough group of Bayern Munich, Boca Juniors and Auckland City.

Yet they will hit top form in the knockout stages, seeing off Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Juve to reach the final.
