PSG v Chelsea: Ivanovic switched, Hazard starts

Branislav Ivanovic will partner Gary Cahill at the heart of the Chelsea defence for the Champions League round-of-16 first leg against Paris St-Germain.

The Blues have been forced into a defensive change because skipper John Terry is out with a hamstring problem, while Kurt Zouma’s season was recently ended by a knee injury.

Ivanovic, who captains the team in Paris, switches from right-back, so Cesar Azpilicueta moves across to right-back and Baba Rahman comes in at left-back. Recent signing Matt Miazga is among the substitutes.

Oscar, who has also been nursing an injury, is on the bench too. Eden Hazard starts, as does Pedro.

Former Chelsea man David Luiz plays for the home side.

PSG: Trapp, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Luiz, Maxwell, Verratti, Thiago Motta, Matuidi, Moura, Ibrahimovic, Di Maria.
Subs: Sirigu, Van Der Wiel, Kurzawa, Rabiot, Stambouli, Pastore, Cavani.

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ivanovic, Baba Rahman; Fabregas, Mikel; Pedro, Willian, Hazard; Costa.
Subs: Begovic, Miazga, Loftus-Cheek, Oscar, Kenedy, Traore, Remy.
