Chelsea Predicted XI v PSG: Filip Jorgensen to Start Over Robert Sanchez Chelsea’s starting lineup for their UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain has been revealed, with Filip Jorgensen set to replace Robert Sanchez in goal. The 22-year-old Danish keeper, who has struggled for consistency in recent weeks, is expected to take the number one jersey for the match at the Parc des Princes. Manager Liam Rosenior is anticipated to make the switch, citing Sanchez’s unconvincing performances as the reason for the change. The decision comes after Sanchez’s lackluster display in Chelsea’s FA Cup victory over Wrexham on Saturday. While the Spaniard started that match, L’Équipe reports that Rosenior is likely to opt for Jorgensen in the Champions League fixture. The move also follows the absence of several key players, including Levi Colwill, Estevao, Jamie Gittens, and Dário Essugo, who are all sidelined for the trip to France. In attack, Joao Pedro is expected to lead the line, supported by Pedro Neto on the left and Cole Palmer on the right. The midfield trio will consist of Enzo Fernandez, Andrey Santos, and Moises Caicedo, forming a balanced attacking unit. Defensively, Marc Cucurella, Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana, and Reece James are set to form the backline, providing a solid foundation for the team’s offensive efforts. The lineup highlights Rosenior’s tactical adjustments ahead of the high-stakes encounter. With PSG as a formidable opponent, Chelsea’s selection of Jorgensen and their attacking trio aims to maximize their chances of securing a crucial victory in the Champions League. The match, scheduled for Wednesday night, will be a test of both resilience and strategy for the Blues.#champions_league #parc_des_princes #liam_rosenior #filip_jorgensen #robert_sanchez

ON THE APP STORE It’s a huge night in the Champions League for Chelsea, who take on PSG and have put out what Liam Rosenior obviously considers his best big game team right now. It’s actually the exact XI we predicted earlier today. That means the big calls went as follows. Rosenior’s big calls for PSG clash In goal, Filip Jorgensen has kept his place after Robert Sanchez looked shaky in the Wrexham game on Saturday. We’re really not behind this goalkeeper gambling, but you’ve got to respect Rosenior’s right to try the two options and work out who he likes. In defence, Malo Gusto plays at right back. That frees up Reece James to play in midfield. Andrey Santos has held that position alongside Moises Caicedo for a while now, and will be gutted he’s missing out here. But it was always the way things were going. Reece was trusted in these games in midfield by Enzo Maresca and Rosenior has been tempted by it too recently. Gusto’s positive effects in the Club World Cup final against this opposition are clearly well remembered too. The front line goes as you’d expect. We can’t help but have a flash of hope that Cole Palmer is going to produce something magical today. Here are the full team line-ups for PSG vs Chelsea (kick off at 20:00 GMT) The Chelsea team to face PSG in the Champions League. This lineup and the questions Rosenior has shows just how much the depth available to Liam Rosenior is improving in terms of quality as it gets more experienced.
