A win today would relieve the pressure on Benitez, who is still far from popular with Chelsea fans despite three wins on the bounce. If he can mastermind a victory today it would be the second time he has won this competition after doing so with Inter two years ago. He has also lost a final to Brazilian opposition before though, against Sao Paulo while he was Liverpool manager in 2005.
A couple of names to look out for in the Corinthians team are talented young midfielder Paulinho and Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero, formerly of Bayern Munich. I'm personally looking forward to seeing Ralf play: what a name.
Expect Chelsea to line up in their usual 4-2-3-1 formation with David Luiz reverting back to his usual defensive role after playing in midfield in the semi-final win over Monterrey. Cesar Azpilicueta is the man to make way with Branislav Ivanovic moving to right back.
