UCL PREVIEW: Chelsea vs. Paris Saint-Germain


Chelsea will have to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit at home to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night if they want to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The Blues were beaten in the French capital last week as their chances of progressing in the competition suffered a serious blow.

However, Jose Mourinho's side will be buoyed by the fact that they have an away goal to work with after Eden Hazard scored from the penalty spot at the Parc des Princes.

Chelsea returned to winning ways on Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Stoke City in the Premier League. Meanwhile, PSG travel to London having won their last nine games in a row.

Hazard and Oscar are likely to return for the hosts after the pair started on the bench against Stoke. Ramires is suspended, while Nemanja Matic is unavailable due to being cup-tied.

PSG are expected to be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who suffered a hamstring problem during last week's first leg.
