Liam Rosenior has opted with Filip Jorgensen in goal for Chelsea's Champions League tie with Paris Saint-Germain this evening.
Jorgensen was brought in to the Blues side last week for the 4-1 victory over Aston Villa, in place of Robert Sanchez a few days after a difficult afternoon for the Spanish goalkeeper at the Emirates Stadium.
Sanchez was then used in Saturday night's FA Cup fifth round victory over Wrexham but has lost his place in the side for this evening's European battle at Parc des Princes. Rosenior has gone with Jorgensen instead, with Malo Gusto at right-back, Marc Cucurella on the other side, and Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah in the centre of defence.

It looks as though captain Reece James is starting in the centre of midfield alongside Moises Caicedo, with Andrey Santos and Romeo Lavia both dropping out of the Chelsea side. In front of James and Caicedo is Enzo Fernandez.

Cole Palmer returns to the starting XI, with Pedro Neto keeping his place in the team, though it appears the Portugal international will be used on the left wing in the French capital with Alejandro Garnacho dropping out. Joao Pedro leads the line as he looks to continue his spectacular recent form that includes 11 goals in his last 12 matches in all competitions.
Chelsea line-up: Jorgensen; Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; James, Caicedo; Palmer, Fernandez, Neto; Joao Pedro
