Can Chelsea stay in the Champions League and overturn a 5-2 deficit from the first leg in Paris?

Chelsea are really up against it as they host PSG on Tuesday in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 tie. MORE — Champions League bracket, schedule Trailing 5-2 from the first leg in Paris after their late implosion, Liam Rosenior's side are really struggling for form both in Europe and the Premier League. They need a couple of goals early, and for PSG to have an off day, to try and pull off a miraculous comeback.

Chelsea are streaky and their talented attackers have to hit PSG hard early, and often, to make this possible. But this is also reigning European champions PSG we are talking about and Luis Enrique's side always seem to keep finding new levels at this stage of the season. They were open defensively in the first leg but they are so dynamic in attack and PSG's aim will be to withstand the early pressure from Chelsea and take the sting out of the tie with some precise and punishing counter attacks.
