Nasri out and Jose to gamble

Better news for the hosts is that Stevan Jovetic is available for the game in Manchester.

Jovetic has recovered from a hamstring injury.

Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, has been quoted as saying that he will use Diego Costa in their Champions League outing tonight.

Costa has been nursing a hamstring problem ahead of the meeting with Sporting Lisbon in Portugal.

Mourinho has admitted that using Costa tonight will be risk, but feels it is a gamble worth taking.

Chelsea are without Didier Drogba.

The veteran striker has an ankle injury and is likely to be sidelined for two weeks.

Nani is expected to start against Chelsea tonight.

He scored for Sporting in their clash Maribor earlier this month.

Paris Saint Germain are minus Zlatan Ibrahimovic for their showdown with Barcelona in France tonight.

Bayern Munich are also on the Tuesday menu.

They have a date at CSKA Moscow.
