PSG – Chelsea: the official line-ups

PSG meets Chelsea this Wednesday evening in the round of 16 of the Champions League. Enough to bring back good memories as well as bad ones to Parisians. The qualification won outnumbered on the pitch at Stamford Bridge exactly 11 years ago for the good or the heavy 3-0 defeat in the Club World Cup final last July for the less good. Less imperial and challenged in the championship by RC Lens, PSG finally hopes to really launch its season during this double confrontation while the Blues, for their part, are running their boat much better this season with a battle for the top 4 in the Premier League and a 5th place, synonymous with direct qualification for these round of 16, during the European league phase. The meeting can be followed live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 9 p.m.

For this match, Liam Rosenior is deprived of Colwill, Estevao, Gittens and Mudryk and aligns a 4-3-3 with Jörgensen in the cages and the Frenchman Gusto is supported by Fofana, Chalobah and Cucurella for the rearguard. In midfield, Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez accompany captain Reece James. Up front, Palmer and Neto will play in support of João Pedro. Luis Enrique, for his part, cannot count on Ndjantou and Fabian Ruiz and aligns his usual 4-3-3 with Safonov, always at the expense of Chevalier, in goals and a classic Hakimi-Marquinhos-Pacho-Mendes defense. Neves, back from injury, is aligned in the mid-three with Vitinha, sentry, and Zaire-Emery. Finally, Doué is preferred to Kvaratskhelia for the right wing while Barcola occupies the left side and Dembélé the point of the attack.
