Palmeiras could 'TAKE ADVANTAGE' of Chelsea's poor recent form and come out on top in the Club World Cup final, insists Brazil legend Rivaldo... who warns Thomas Tuchel's side that his former club have a 'good chance' of upsetting the odds in Abu Dhabi

Brazil legend Rivaldo has warned Chelsea that former club Palmeiras could take advantage of their poor recent form to spring an upset in Saturday's Club World Cup final.

The Blues are gearing up for their second appearance in the showpiece this weekend, having suffered defeat against Corinthians when they last got there back in 2012.

Thomas Tuchel's men, who headed to the tournament in Abu Dhabi with only one win to show for their last five Premier League outings, were fortunate to edge out a narrow 1-0 victory over Asian champions Al-Hilal in the semi-final on Wednesday night.
