Liam Rosenior's side have been left with a mountain to climb after a series of mistakes saw PSG take advantage in Paris last week to leave Chelsea on the brink of exiting the Champions League.

PSG boss Luis Enrique is not taking anything for granted against the Blues, who did claim a 3-0 win over the French side in the Club World Cup final last summer.

"There are four ties with a three-goal difference," stressed Enrique. "We'll see how many qualify. Football is incredible.

"Against Chelsea in the first leg, we were tied for a long time, it was very balanced. We are ready to play the same way this Tuesday. We will have to know how to manage the key moments in the match."

Rosenior knows perfection is required, admitting pre-match: "For us to go through tomorrow, we need to be perfect in terms of not making mistakes, in terms of our performance in possession."

Chelsea will need excellence, and no doubt a little bit of luck if they want to complete a memorable comeback.

As Tuesday's European clash awaits, the officials have been confirmed for the tie in London.
