Paris FC v Chelsea: Women’s Champions League – live

Chelsea manager Emma Hayes has said in the build-up: “Paris will come out and give us a game, that’s what we want. These are the games you want to win. Last week was a boring game because Real Madrid sat in a low block.”

It’s the time of year where everyone has a variation of a cold and I too have now been struck down with illness. I am trying everything to shift it but it’s got a tight grip, what are your home remedies? Let me know via email or X – @rendellx

Hello and welcome back to our Women’s Champions League coverage. Tonight we will be focusing on Paris FC v Chelsea.

The Blues secured their spot in the quarter-finals last week when they beat Real Madrid 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. The win also meant they will finish as group winners. However, Paris FC have not yet secured their last eight spot and they need to beat Chelsea tonight in order to boost their hopes.

Hacken are above them by a single point at the moment with a greater goal difference so all three points will aid Paris’ campaign. However, if Hacken beat Real Madrid then no matter the result in this game Paris FC will be out. The other game in the group kicks off at the same time and so I will update you as things progress.

We can focus more on what has been said in the build-up shortly but first the team news.
