Chelsea have undoubtedly been lifted under interim manager Guus Hiddink and have lost just once in 17 matches since the sacking of Jose Mourinho in December. That run has seen them progress to the FA Cup quarter-finals and reappear in the top half of the Premier League.

However, their one defeat under the Dutchman came in the first leg in Paris and they have drawn five of their last six home Premier League matches, including Saturday's 1-1 stalemate with Stoke City.As a result, they lie 10th in the table, 10 points away from fourth-placed Manchester City having played a game more.

PSG's own form has dipped a little with their focus on this tie -- a 0-0 draw with Montpellier at the weekend came a week after their first domestic defeat of the season, 2-1 at Lyon.

Despite that, since the first leg they have progressed to the semi-finals of the French Cup to remain on course for a second successive clean sweep of all the domestic trophies. In Ligue 1, they are 23 points clear of second-placed Monaco with nine games left and could wrap up a fourth consecutive title this weekend, as long as the principality side drop points and they win at bottom club Troyes. Otherwise, they could clinch the title when they host Monaco on March 20.
