Chelsea vs PSG: Predicted lineup for Champions League Round of 16 second-leg

Paris Saint-Germain will face Chelsea in the second-leg of their Champions League Round of 16 at Stamford Bridge. The European Champions hold a comfortable three-goal lead following their 5-2 home victory. While the Parisians were able to rest this week, they must guard against complacency to avoid another historical disaster in London.

For this game, Fabian Ruiz and Quentin Ndjantou are still the only two players missing from Luis Enrique's squad. Both players have now been out of the team for an extended period of time and are nearing a return in the next few days.

Here is Les Parisiens' predicted starting XI against Chelsea.

PSG Predicted Lineup vs. Chelsea (4-3-3)

GK: Matvey Safonov - The Russian goalkeeper was decisive in the first-leg with several important saves. The same will be expected of him as he looks to cement his spot between the posts.

RB: Achraf Hakimi - The Moroccan has been impactful in the first-leg. He will need to repeat this kind of performance to help his side.

CB: Marquinhos - The Brazil international will need to be at his best in the second to secure Paris' spot in the next round of the competition.

CB: Willian Pacho - The Ecuadorian had completely shut down Joao Pedro in the first-leg in another defensive masterclass.

LB: Nuno Mendes - The Portuguese was once again very strong defensively and completely nullified Cole Palmer's influence over the first-leg. The same performance will be expected of him to help his team.

CDM: Vitinha - Vitinha proved once again that he was one of the most important piece of Luis Enrique's system against Chelsea.

CM: Warren Zaire-Emery - The PSG Academy graduate needs to deliver another great performances to cement his place in the starting lineup.

CM: Joao Neves - The Portuguese made his return against Chelsea in the first-leg and delivered a top-level performance. He will therefore start in the crucial second-leg.

RW: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia  - The Georgian star dazzled in the first-leg, scoring two goals from the bench to give a comfortable advantage to his team ahead of the second-leg.

LW: Bradley Barcola- The France international winger is certainly the most in-form offensive player of this team and he proved it in the first-leg as he opened the scoring with a remarkable volley.

ST: Ousmane Dembélé - The 2025 Ballon d'Or is slowly getting back to his best level at the best possible moment for PSG as they started the knockout stages of the Champions League.
