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 \u2026 to say the least.<\/p>\n
Liam Rosenior has gone for a fairly standard-looking selection, though we\u2019ll see how exactly things shake out based on how and where Malo, Reece, and Enzo end up playing. And it is indeed J\u00f6rgensen in goal.<\/p>\n
PSG looking strong and scary.<\/p>\n
