Paris Saint-Germain defender David Luiz has claimed that he is 'ready for war' against his former club Chelsea in Wednesday's Champions League showdown at Stamford Bridge.

The Ligue 1 club will head into the second leg of the last-16 tie with a 2-1 lead from the initial bout in Paris last month and Luiz is preparing himself for a stern test against his old employers.

Luiz said: "I think things are looking good for us to qualify. I am ready for war, for the battle.

"I love giving everything for my team. Even when I am not capable physically, I give everything. It is not easy to play there.

'I know that because I know them very well. Chelsea know how to get results. We have to be careful."
