Champions League: Chelsea v PSG team news and lineups



PSG have it all to do when they take on Chelsea in Stamford Bridge today

The scoreline might say 1-1, but its not as even as that score suggests. The all important away goal that Chelsea managed in Paris gives them a significant advantage going in to this crucial Champions League clash today.

PSG need to score against their English opponents in order to have any chance of qualifying for this years Champions League quarter finals. With the attacking prowess the French side have on offer you might think they should be able to score with ease.

You have to consider their opposition, Chelsea have a great defense more often that not but when you add in the fact that manager Jose Mourinho is possibly the best tactical boss in world football it paints a dooming picture for PSG.

Mourinho is the king at setting out his stall and inviting pressure, often scraping a game by the bare minimum he needs to qualify. Take this fixture last year for example, PSG came in to the second leg up 3-1 and failed to score. Chelsea won 2-0 on the night and went through on the away goal rule.

A similar type game is expected for today, but an early goal from PSG would shake things up and force Mourinho to rethink his game plan.

Here are the players tasked with getting the job done:
