Lose 5-2 in the first leg in Paris After their latest implosion, Liam Rosenior’s side are really struggling for form in both Europe and the Premier League. They need a couple of early goals and PSG to have a day off to try to pull off a miraculous comeback. Chelsea are streaky and their talented attackers have to hit PSG hard early, and often, for this to be possible.

But we are also talking about the reigning European champions, PSG, and Luis Enrique’s team always seems to continue finding new levels at this point in the season. They were open defensively in the first leg, but they are very dynamic in attack and PSG’s objective will be to resist Chelsea’s initial pressure and ease the tie with some precise and punishing counterattacks.

Chelsea team news, focus
Filip Jorgensen has a groin problem and after his mistakes in the first leg, Robert Sánchez was likely to return to goal for the second leg anyway. Reece James is out for this match with a hamstring problem, as the Chelsea captain has suffered another injury that will keep him out for the next few weeks. Estevao is back in training, which is a boost, while Rosenior is likely to be very offensive with his lineup. Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez really have to step up and deliver big moments early on.
PSG team news, focus
Ousmane Dembélé’s fitness remains under control, but the fact that he was fit for the first leg was a big boost for PSG. Key midfielder Fabián Ruiz remains injured, but having Joao Neves back from injury for the first leg win was also huge and will give PSG some much-needed extra control.
Chelsea-PSG Prediction
It looks like Chelsea could do it, but PSG will have too much at half-time and will do the job to reach the quarterfinals. Chelsea 2-2 PSG.
