It’s Chelsea PSG at Stamford Bridge, an interesting game to pick a team for. Liam Rosenior needs a win and a good performance at home, but he’s facing a strong side and is missing key players.

It looks like a back four, with Reece James and Malo Gusto’s absences meaning Trevoh Chalobah plays at right back. Wesley Fofana is also out – dropped or just rested after two games in a week? It’s not clear. He’s replaced by Mamadou Sarr. Jorrel Hato, usually a left back, plays at centre back with Sarr.

Marc Cucurella continues at left back. Andrey Santos is into the midfield to replace James alongside Moises Caicedo.

The front line has Pedro Neto and Cole Palmer flanking Joao Pedro, with Enzo Fernandez in the hole.

It’s just about the best Rosenior can do under the circumstances. Although we’d have kept Chalobah and Sarr central with Josh Acheampong at right back. At least that keeps players in their usual positions.

It’s nice to see Estevao on the bench – hopefully he gets some minutes later.

Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs PSG (kick off at 20:00 GMT)
