Chelsea take on Paris Saint-Germain on the road in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tonight.
Ahead of the game, manager Liam Rosenior is set to make wholesale changes from the 4-2 win over Wrexham in the FA Cup fifth round.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-up:
Robert Sanchez has been the Blues’ regular in goal and should start against Les Parisiens at Parc des Princes tonight.
In front of him, Rosenior should pick his strongest back four. Reece James and Marc Cucurella should line up in the full-back positions. Wesley Fofana looks poised to partner Trevoh Chalobah in central defence.
Similarly, Moises Caicedo and Andrey Santos are expected to feature in the centre of the park with Enzo Fernandez operating as the attacking midfielder.
Cole Palmer looks poised to be reinstated on the right wing after a much-needed break. Pedro Neto should line up on the opposite flank for the west London heavyweights.
Joao Pedro has been one of the most in-form strikers since the turn of the year. The Brazil international is expected to lead the line ahead of Liam Delap and Marc Guiu.
Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs PSG: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Santos; Palmer, Fernandez, Neto; Pedro.
