Welcome to the first leg of our Champions League Round of 16 showdown against the defending Champions of Europe, in a (two-legged) rematch of the Club World Cup final from the summer. Chelsea won that one quiet handily in the end (3-0); this will likely be a lot tougher … to say the least.
Liam Rosenior has gone for a fairly standard-looking selection, though we’ll see how exactly things shake out based on how and where Malo, Reece, and Enzo end up playing. And it is indeed Jörgensen in goal.
PSG looking strong and scary.
