Chelsea would be looking to continue their fine form in both domestic and European competition as they take on injury plagued PSG. Team News PSG Laurent Blanc’s men are placed third in the Ligue 1, two short of leaders Lyon, and could only settle for a 2-2 draw at Cain in Paris on Saturday, conceding twice in the last two minutes in a match they ended with nine men. Paris Saint-Germain are unbeaten in their last 9 games in all competitions, but have managed two draws from their last 3 matches. The draw against Caen signaled the end to their 4 game winning streak at home, although PSG are unbeaten in 18 in all competitions at home and have won 15 out of those games. In the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain have won 10 out of their last 13 games at home in the last two and a half season, including the last 6 in a row. PSG boss, Laurent Blanc in a news conference on Monday confirmed that Serge Aurier, Yohan Cabaye and Lucas Moura are all out of the tie due to injury. However, Brazilian defender Marquinhos who was also injured on Saturday, was included along with fellow injury doubts Blaise Matuidi, Thiago Motta and Javier Pastore after coming through training on Monday afternoon.
