Liam Rosenior pretty much has his best eleven that he usually goes for in most games, so you can pretty much predict what we will see from him. There is just a couple of decisions that he will need to make in a couple of positions to decide what he is going to do.
Alejandro Garnacho has been in some better form in the last couple of games, so he will be knocking hard on the door for another start in this game. But Pedro Neto is a trusted choice for most managers, so it could be a choice between those two.
Garnacho to start?

L’Equipe have gone with a headline article this week that simple states Alejandro Garnacho and Malo Gusto are candidates to start for Chelsea against PSG in the Champions League.
We will have to see if this is the case of course, and whether it is Gusto who starts over Reece James at right back. Or whether perhaps James plays in midfield, if at all. In training pictures so far this week, James has not been spotted, which suggests he could be having some rest or even out injured. We are unsure at this stage.

Saturday was a good day for Chelsea left backs – Jorrel Hato had a good game and Marc Cucurella returned from his hamstring injury to help Chelsea beat Wrexham 4-2 in the FA Cup after extra time.
Hato might be needed for another important game this week – it all depends on what the physios say about Marc Cucurella.
