Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc expects Chelsea to "bring the heat"

Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has claimed that he expects Chelsea to "bring the heat" during the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

The two sides will go head to head in the French capital tomorrow night in what is likely to be a closely-contested encounter.

Blanc believes that Chelsea will adopt a fiery approach to the game, but he has warned his players to keep their calm throughout.

"Knowing [Jose] Mourinho a little bit, I think he'll try to bring the heat up on the pitch," the former Manchester United defender is quoted as saying by The Mirror.

"Our players need to remain cool-headed, not react and keep calm. We can't allow yellow cards and suspensions because we don't have many players in the squad.

"Tomorrow the right equation is to show a strong will to score and to defend well, and I think it will be the same for Mourinho."

PSG won four of their six group games to make it into the last 16, while Chelsea progressed without tasting defeat.
