Chelsea visits Parc des Princes tonight to face current European champions Paris Saint-Germain, aiming to gain a crucial first-leg advantage.

Chelsea arrives in Paris as a revitalized team under manager Liam Rosenior, who has led the club from 8th to 5th place in the Premier League since January. The team comes into this match after a 4–2 victory in the FA Cup against Wrexham and a notable 3–0 win over PSG in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final.

However, past results in this competition favor the home team; when they last met in the 2015-16 Round of 16, PSG won both matches 2–1. Chelsea has won only two out of eight matches against PSG in the Champions League but has been successful in their last six encounters with French teams.

Chelsea Team News

Manager Liam Rosenior has a generally stable squad but must deal with some key absences. Levi Colwill is out with an ACL injury, and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is likely to miss the match due to ongoing fitness issues. Chelsea is also concerned about the fitness of Estêvão, who is doubtful with a hamstring injury. If the young player takes the field and scores, he would be the youngest South American to score in a Champions League knockout match.

In defense, Wesley Fofana, who recently recovered from a minor thigh injury, is set to partner Trevoh Chalobah. Marc Cucurella has also received a positive fitness update and may return at left-back, marking his 151st appearance for the club. In midfield, Andrey Santos and Enzo Fernández will continue their important partnership, though both are one yellow card away from a suspension in the second leg. Robert Sánchez is expected to make his 100th appearance for Chelsea if he plays tonight.

Chelsea predicted lineup

Both teams feature the youngest average starting lineups in this season’s competition. Chelsea’s average age is 24 years and 31 days, while they face a PSG team that leads the tournament in possession (69.7%) and passes completed under pressure.

Chelsea Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Sánchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Santos; Palmer, Fernández, Neto; Pedro
