PSG v Chelsea: Five key battles

Premier League leaders Chelsea face PSG in Paris on Tuesday night in the last-16 of the Champions League.

PSG suffered a huge blow at the weekend when four players - Marquinhos, Serge Aurier, Yohan Cabaye and Lucas Moura - left the pitch injured during the 2-2 draw at home to Caen.

That news will have made pleasant reading for Jose Mourinho’s side who haven’t played since last Wednesday when they beat Everton 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho’s chances of returning to west London for the second leg with an advantage is boosted by the return of top scorer Diego Costa.

PSG are third in Ligue 1 and despite having to field an injury-struck side, Laurent Blanc will still be able to rely on the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi to cause Chelsea problems.

Here Standard Sport assesses five key battles ahead of Tuesday night’s clash.
