PSG vs Chelsea - UWCL preview: TV channel, live stream, predicted lineups & prediction
By Ali Rampling
PSG and Chelsea get their Champions League group stage campaigns underway at Stade Jean-Bouin on Thursday evening, as the pair attempt to navigate their way out of the tightest of groups.
The two teams last met at the quarter final stage of the 2018/19 competition, with Chelsea surviving a PSG fightback to emerge victorious thanks to Maren Mjelde's dramatic late winner.
The 2018/19 season was the last time PSG failed to reach the last four in the Champions League; the French outfit have been beaten in the semi finals by the eventual European champions in each of the last three seasons.

PSG vs Chelsea score prediction
With Real Madrid also in the mix, PSG and Chelsea find themselves in a tough group and will really have their work cut out to reach the knockout stages. This does however mean that dropping points on Thursday evening will not be catastrophic to hopes of qualifying or even topping the group - given the calibre of opposition, the likelihood is that most teams in the group will drop points across their six games.
Thursday's encounter promises to be a fascinating battle, with a selection of the finest forward players in Europe on display. A tightly-contested, high scoring match up could play out.
