Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has put his faith in three-time Champions League winner Pedro for tonight's last-16 knockout phase first leg against Paris Saint-Germain.

The former Barcelona winger replaces Oscar, who drops to the bench, and will hope to impress after scoring in last weekend's 5-1 mauling of Newcastle United.

Captain John Terry is ruled out with an ankle injury and replaced by left-back Baba Rahman, with Branislav Ivanovic moving to central defence.

John Obi Mikel also comes into the side for the suspended Nemanja Matic. Long-term absentees Radamel Falcao and Kurt Zouma did not travel with the defending Premier League champions.

PSG head coach Laurent Blanc makes six changes from the weakened side which started in the goalless draw against Lille this weekend.

The Ligue 1 leaders move Marquinhos to right-back with Thiago Silva coming into central defence. The talismanic Zlatan Ibrahimovic starts up front in place of Edinson Cavani, who wasted a number of chances in the weekend's stalemate.

Maxwell, Thiago Motta, Marco Verratti and Lucas Moura also come into the side.
