Two clubs chasing UEFA Champions League glory will do battle today in a match between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. The Round of 16 clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at Stamford Bridge and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Sports 1.
What They're Saying
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (via UEFA): "We will try to win. When you are losing 3-1 from the first leg, you are on the limit of risk. If you concede one goal, you are in big trouble. You know you have to score a minimum of three. Tomorrow [Wednesday] is different. The result has a complete balance, but we are trying to win."
PSG manager Laurent Blanc: "[Victory] would change our perception in France, but also across Europe and maybe with you guys, the press. But we still need to do that. It's easy to talk about, but harder to go out and do it. We're halfway through a two-legged tie. Chelsea have a slight advantage with the away goal, so our aim is to do what Chelsea did in Paris and get through. We'll prepare well."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: PSG's Zlatan Ibrahimovic has never scored against a Jose Mourinho-managed team. In seven matches, the Swedish international has no goals and no assists. With PSG needing an all-important away goal, he'll look to break the trend on Wednesday.
Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Ivanović, Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matić, Willian, Fàbregas, Hazard; Costa
PSG's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sirigu; Maxwell, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Van der Wiel; David Luiz, Thiago Motta, Verratti, Matuidi; Cavani, Ibrahimović
