Chelsea vs. PSG, Champions League: Preferred lineup
LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 01: The shirts of Josh Acheampong and Mamdou Sarr are displayed inside the Chelsea dressing room prior to the Premier League match between Arsenal and Chelsea at Emirates Stadium on March 01, 2026 in London, England. (Photo by Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty Images) | Chelsea FC via Getty Images Chelsea are in a massive hole for tonight’s Champions League Round of 16 second leg against PSG, and it will take something extraordinarily historic to get out of it. If I were in charge, I’d just play the Chelsea Old Boys, plus maybe Rosenior himself.
Maybe get Maresca & Co back, too. How’s Paul Winstanley’s distribution? But I’m not in charge, thankfully, so presumably that won’t happen.
What’s more likely is that we’ll give it the old college try, and maybe score a moral victory simply by winning the second leg. We won the second half, baby! Anyway, for the WAGNH Community, the preference is to make some changes at the back, and restore Andrey Santos to the starting lineup in the wake of Reece James’ entirely unforeseeable hamstring injury.
4-2-3-1 (72%) Sánchez (98%) | Cucurella (89%), Sarr (56%), Chalobah (89%), Acheampong (66%) | Santos (63%), Caicedo (93%) | Enzo (84%), Palmer (86%), Neto (70%) | João Pedro (92%) Estevão (49%) just misses out, as does Wesley Fofana (46%). Others with a solid showing include Alejandro Garnacho (31%), Jorrel Hato (25%), Roméo Lavia (21%), and Malo Gusto (16%).
