Samuel Eto'o, who has been out since Chelsea's 6-0 thrashing of Arsenal on 22 March with a hamstring injury, will start tonight for the Blues in their Champions League quarter-final second-leg tie against Paris Saint-German at Stamford Bridge as Jose Mourinho's side look to overturn a two-goal deficit after losing the first leg 3-1 last week.

Eto'o replaces the attacking midfielder Andre Schurrle in the starting XI, meaning that, unlike the first leg in Paris, Chelsea start with a recognised striker.

Frank Lampard comes in for the suspended Ramires.

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Lampard, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Eto'o.

PSG: Sirigu, Jallet, Maxwell, Motta, Alex, Thiago Silva, Verratti, Matuidi, Cavani, Lucas Moura, Lavezzi
