    Both Chelsea and PSG won 3-0 at home yesterday in anticipation if our second leg at the Bridge on Tuesday.

    PSG rested their entire midfield Verrutti, Motta and Matuidi, three defenders Jallet, Alex, maxwell, plus no injured Ibra and Chelsea nemesis Lavezzi.

    How do you think we will line up?

    Despite Luiz' latest brainwave, with no Ramires and Matic, he has to start. And he probably would anyway as we need to play uptempo on the from foot. Lamps will start too. With the three amigos up front with Schurrle as supersub.

    Guessing Spud-hater Salah is ineligible. Up front.... If we'd give Ba a run out v Palace or Stoke, we could have tried him. Eto'o always seems to get injured when he starts playing well, but only needs a few weeks to get back unlike Torres who's head goes down for months after injury/suspension
    Sammy to start and knick a goal if fit, bring Ba or Torres on later maybe?

    Cech
    Iva JT Cahill Dave
    Luiz Lamps
    Willian Oscar Hazard
    Eto'o

    PSG have some very good players but are not unbeatable. Could be a great night

    I tell you something I thought was great yesterday. Ashley Cole passing the ball around and getting forward well from midfield. It's not the time but would love to see if he could do a job in the left sided central midfield position. Has decent pace, can tackle, can track and knows how to pass. Worth a look

    But yeah, can't disagree with your team OP if all are fit, only difference could be if Jose decides that PSG's pace in the wide areas needs to be addressed. Maybe Cole at left back with the defence shuffling around, and maybe one of the centre backs replaced with Ivan.

    Cahill was scary at times on Wednesday. But Jose is not going to change the back 4, is he?

    Time for Ramires to give us another memorable European moment.

    Zlatan injury might be a blessing in disguise to Parisians.

    Yeah I forgot about that, Jose is never one for risking it. Luiz/Lamps will be the midfield duo.
