Paris Saint-Germain defender David Luiz has insisted that he is wary of the threat that Chelsea's Eden Hazard will pose when they meet in the Champions League next week.

The Premier League leaders travel to the French capital on Tuesday, and the Brazil international has talked up the talent of his former teammate, describing him as "very special".

Luiz told Telefoot: "Chelsea are more balanced than last year, they also have a Hazard who has been very special this year.

"I hope he won't be having a good day against us, maybe I even hope that he has a bad day against us because he is a player who can decide which way the game goes.

"I don't think so, at this level it is 50-50. Before the game everyone can say anything. It is like that. But it is on the pitch that you have to prove it."

Luiz moved to the Ligue 1 champions from Chelsea for around £50m in the summer.
