Groups C and D of this year's Club World Cup reach their conclusion on Tuesday with four more high-quality games.
Here's what to look out for on day 11 of the tournament.
Bayern Munich lead the way in Group C and they will be looking to maintain their 100 per cent record so far with a win over second-place Benfica in Charlotte. The weather could play its part though, with the temperature set to reach a stifling 39°C/102°F.
Should Bayern win, that leaves the door open for Boca Juniors to sneak into the last 16, but they must overturn a seven-goal difference with Benfica. Auckland City - the whipping boys of the tournament - are their opponents.
Group D then takes centre-stage with Chelsea and Espérance in a head-to-head battle for a last 16 place. The Blues have been indifferent so far and really struggled in the heat against Flamengo last time out. Can the Tunisian giants produce arguably the biggest upset in their history?
With Flamengo already into the knockout stages, their match with LAFC will likely be a bit of a procession.
With Nicolas Jackson having seen himself sent off in Chelsea's defeat to Flamengo, it will almost certainly be left for Liam Delap to lead the line for the Premier League club.
The English youngster spoke recently about the Blues' "curse" when it comes to number nines. “I’m not that type of person," he told their official website. "It’s something that people speculate about but it doesn’t mean anything to me."
Now's the time to prove it.
