Chelsea are back in action after a good long week of rest with the opponents PSG for the night taking on RC Lens in a mid week fixture.
Recapping from the first leg action at the Parc de Paris stadium where the game ended as a goal all to each side with Chelsea bringing back a slender margin of advantage.
An Ivanovic header earned them respect from a much improved performance when compared to last season where they were humbled by 3-1 but winning the tie eventually.
With Chelsea already achieving a status as an European Elite, Paris are team who are trying to replicate the success which Chelsea achieved years ago.
Team News:
Jose Mourinho has all of his players available bar John Obi Mikel who just under went a knee surgery. Another big news is the availability of midfield anchor man Nemanja Matic who comes back from a domestic 2 game ban. With Fabregas, Costa, Hazard, Terry all fit, Blues look confident as they set to embark on their 8th quarter finals in 9 seasons.
For PSG, Yohan Cabaye, Thiago Motta are all fit and available. With only doubt being the Brazilian winger Lucas Moura. Edinson Cavani who has been unsettled all along his Paris career is in speculations about a move back to Italy with Juve supposedly lining up a move, but coach Blanc would be hoping his head who be fine and he'd concentrated on the game.
Predicted Line Ups:
Chelsea: Courtios, Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta, Fabregas, Matic, Ramires, Willian, Hazard, Costa.
PSG: Sirigu, Marquinhos, Luiz, Silva, Maxwell, Matuidi, Motta, Verratti, Lavezzi, IBRA, Cavani.
