Chelsea take on Paris Saint-Germain in tonight’s Champions League last-16 first leg at the Parc des Princes.
Chelsea and PSG have recent history after meeting in last summer’s Club World Cup final, where Cole Palmer shone as the Blues triumphed in a 3-0 win.
PSG are the European champions but they have looked vulnerable this season. Luis Enrique’s side finished only 11th in the Champions League league phase, and have a title fight on their hands in Ligue 1 with Lens.
Chelsea are in a battle to finish the Champions League places in the Premier League, but can take their mind off it with this European challenge.

PSG v Chelsea takes place tonight, starting at 8pm GMT.
