Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois believes the Blues have the quality in their side to cause Paris Saint-Germain problems when the two teams meet in the Champions League tonight.

Guus Hiddink's men will take on an in-form PSG side at the Parc des Princes, with the last two ties between the clubs having been settled on away goals.

Despite Chelsea remaining unbeaten in 12 games since Hiddink took charge in December, the Blues' task of getting a result over PSG will be made all the more difficult by the form of the French champions.

Laurent Blanc's side have only been beaten once this season - a 1-0 loss away to Real Madrid - while they currently lead the Ligue 1 standings by a commanding 24 points.

Their dominance in France has been helped by the addition of Angel Di Maria in the summer but, despite Chelsea being without John Terry, Kurt Zouma and the suspended Nemanja Matic tonight, Courtois insists the Premier League champions have a team who can beat PSG.

"We’ll have to defend well, but we will have to show our quality when we have the ball and try to make inroads as an attacking side ourselves," the Belgian said.

"Last year we had a difficult game here as well. With Ángel Di María they have added even greater quality to their team. In the league they are doing very well – and will win it.

"It will be a difficult game for us, but hopefully also for them. We still have the quality to cause them problems."
