Diego Costa returns to Chelsea's starting lineup for their Champions League last-16 tie against PSG, while Kenedy makes his fourth start for the club.

Diego Costa has returned to Chelsea's starting lineup for tonight's Champions League last-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain, while Kenedy makes just his fourth start for the club.

The Spain international will lead the line for the Blues at Stamford Bridge after missing last weekend's 1-1 draw with Stoke City because of a tendon problem.

Pedro has also been included in Guus Hiddink's first XI after missing the last two games with a hamstring issue, but as expected, there is no place in the defence for captain John Terry as he continues to be hampered by injury.

As for the visiting side, PSG boss Laurent Blanc has been dealt a blow as Marco Verratti is not in the squad at all this evening due to injury.

Blaise Matuidi, Adrien Rabiot and Thiago Motta will line the midfield, while Angel di Maria and Lucas Moura will provide attacking threat alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

PSG have a 2-1 lead from the first leg.

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

Paris Saint-Germain: Trapp; Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Maxwell; Thiago Motta, Rabiot, Matuidi; Di Maria, Moura, Ibrahimovic
Subs: Sirigu, Augustin, Van Der Wiel, Stambouli, Kurzawa, Pastore, Cavani
