Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink says PSG are favourites ahead of their Champions League tie.

Hiddink's side secured a big 5-1 win over Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, just three days before they travel to the French capital to play PSG, who currently lead France's top flight by 25 points.

"We have to consider when the Premier League clubs have to play in Europe if we can play earlier to give us more recovery. The doctors know that the second day after a game should be for rest but we have to prepare. So I'm strongly in favour that when you play on Tuesday, we should play on Friday. Any doctor will support this."

When pressed further about PSG's chances of beating Chelsea on Tuesday, Hiddink said: "They are favourites - they have a good team and when you have such a record, it is a tremendous record. But we must go there and play with confidence."
