The officials have been confirmed for Chelsea’s Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.
A re-run of the 2025 Club World Cup final awaits in the Round of 16 in the Champions League, with Chelsea heading to France for the first leg at the Parc des Princes.
After their win over Monaco in the play-offs, PSG will be hoping to inflict revenge on Chelsea after their 3-0 defeat to the Blues last summer as they watched the west London side be crowned Champions of the World.
The winners of the two-legged European affair will face either Liverpool or Galatasaray, with the pathway to May’s final in Budapest becoming clearer.
Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea have picked up two important results leading into the PSG tie, beating Aston Villa to boost their Champions League qualification hopes via the Premier League, and progressing past Wrexham to seal an FA Cup quarter-final place.
