Defence:
Branislav Ivanovic is expected to play in right back and he will have a job on his hands to stop the brilliant Ezequiel Lavezzi, the Argentine who was on fire in the first leg. Cesar Azpilicueta has been Chelsea’s most improved player this season but the Spaniard has shown fragilities in the last two weeks and will in all probability come out second best against the pacy Lucas Moura, but Azpilicueta must not give up running for the cause. PSG are one of the most devastating teams in terms of attacking abilities and Laurent Blanc’s side can take advantage of unmarked spaces to the best possible extent. John Terry and Gary Cahill face another tough ninety minutes to keep Edin Cavani at bay in the final third.
Midfield:
With Nemanja Matic ineligible for the tie having featured for Benfica earlier in the competition and Ramires suspended, Mourinho has to start David Luiz and Frank Lampard in the middle of the park as the double pivot of his 4-2-3-1 setup. Oscar will start in his favourite number ten role while the onus would be on Eden Hazard and Willian to take the game to the away side. If Chelsea are to get back into the game, the triumvirate behind the lone striker have to play out of their skin to get anywhere closer to force extra time at the end of the normal ninety minutes.
