Cheslea will travel to the French capital Paris to take on PSG in what should be a clash of the Titans. Two of the best players in Europe, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Eden Hazard will lock horns tonight, in what should be a fiesty affair.
Both sides are currently riding high in their leagues. The home side are currently first in Ligue 1, and are 13 points clear of fellow money spenders Monaco. PSG have won their last six on all competitions so they will definitely offer Chelsea a tough task. The away side, are currently 2nd in the Premier League two points off Liverpool. The Blues have won four of their last 6 games in all competitions, but in their last game, they suffered a shock as they lost at the hands of relegation threatened Crystal Palace.

In the reverse fixture they dominated but only won 2-1. Chelsea beat Turkish side Galatasary. They drew 1-1 in the Turkish capital before returing to the Bridge and comfortably beating Roberto Mancini's men 2-0.
Influential Brazilian defender Thiago Silva will compete with a protective mask due to breaking his cheekbone against FC Lorient. In PSG's last game, Alex, Blasie Matuidi and Marco Verratti were all the rested for the French giants but they will all probably return to the line up for this mouth-watering clash.
