Chelsea will face off against Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes this Wednesday night as they look to secure a win in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 tie. The Blues managed to earn a hard-fought 4-2 victory away at Wrexham recently, which should give them some confidence going into this game.<\/p>\n

Liam Rosenior will set his players up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a few changes to his first XI for this clash. Joao Pedro, Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo could all play from the start of this game.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Robert Sanchez will operate in between the sticks for the West London club after he shipped in two goals in his last outing. Wesley Fofana will play alongside Trevoh Chalobah at the centre of the Chelsea<\/a> backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the game.<\/p>\n

Malo Gusto will fill in as the right-back, while Marc Cucurella hopes to put in a good performance on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent\u2019s half.<\/p>\n

Benoit Badiashile and Tosin Adarabioyo will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.<\/p>\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Reece James will make up Chelsea\u2019s midfield. Their main focus would be to make life tough for the home side at the centre of the park.<\/p>\n

Andrey Santos and Romeo Lavia will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they await their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Alejandro Garnacho will hope to prove his worth on the left flank, while Cole Palmer looks to give a good account of himself on the right wing. Both of them will have to make some clever runs in behind the opponent\u2019s backline if the Blues are to come out on top this weekend.<\/p>\n

Joao Pedro will spearhead Chelsea\u2019s attack on the offensive end of the field. He has to find a way to be a real threat up top.<\/p>\n

Liam Delap and Marc Guiu will be named on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if Chelsea are in need of a goal by then.<\/p>\n
