PSG's players will be full of confidence after thumping Chelsea 5-2 in Paris last week. They've had all week to rest, so they should be raring to go by the time they step onto the pitch at Stamford Bridge for the second leg of this Champions League clash. By contrast, Chelsea had to play Newcastle at the weekend, and they lost 1-0. The players could be tired and disheartened, while they're also missing captain Reece James through injury. Chelsea will need to take risks in a bid to overturn the three-goal deficit, but that leaves them vulnerable to PSG's pace on the counterattack.

The Blues are aiming to avoid three consecutive defeats in all competitions for the first time since February 2025. They trail 5-2 on aggregate vs. PSG (it was level at two goals apiece after 74 minutes), so you'd think the Parisians would take it a bit easy Tuesday and be just fine with a 1-0-type loss. Chelsea has lost only one of its past 11 UEFA home matches against French opposition (W7 D3) and has won the last three. The Blues have scored two or more goals in their last seven UEFA matches against French foes. They certainly will be in full attack mode Tuesday.

Chelsea under new manager Rosenior starting his tenure off strong as the "New Manager Bounce" could be seen across all areas of the pitch. The longer this team plays, however, the more cracks we are seeing develop in how this team plays. This Chelsea side are still running with an extreme lack of discipline. Red cards continue to plague them, and their defense looked lost and disjointed against PSG in the first leg. While PSG are up on goals, and frankly don't need to win, I don't think that will matter. Even a rotate PSG side will look to embarrass a Chelsea team who can't seem to piece it together.
