Champions League: A look at Premier League teams' opposition this week

Coaches

Sevilla: Former Spain and Real Madrid head coach Julen Lopetegui has been in charge at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan since June 2019.

PSG: German coach Thomas Tuchel has won successive Ligue 1 titles since replacing Unai Emery at the Parc des Princes in 2018.

Porto: The Dragons are managed by ex-Portugal winger Sergio Conceicao. The 45-year-old had two spells with the club as a player and returned as coach in June 2017.

Ajax: Two seasons ago, Erik Ten Hag led Ajax to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 1997, having succeeded the sacked Marcel Keizer in December 2017.

European pedigree

Sevilla: The Spanish side have limited Champions League pedigree but are the reigning Europa League holders, a competition they have won a record six times.

PSG: Having previously failed to go beyond the quarter-finals, big-spending PSG reached last season's final, losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich in August.

Porto: Jose Mourinho guided the Portuguese side to a shock triumph in 2004. Monaco were beaten 3-0 by Mourinho's men in the final in Gelsenkirchen.

Ajax: The Amsterdam club are four-time winners of the competition, most recently in 1995 under Louis Van Gaal. They have also been runners-up twice.

Form

Sevilla: Los Rojiblancos suffered a 1-0 defeat at Andalusian rivals Granada on Saturday, their first LaLiga loss from four fixtures this season.

PSG: French champions PSG sit second in Ligue 1 on the back of five successive wins, including scoring 10 goals in their past two games. The fine form followed consecutive defeats.

Porto: The 29-time and reigning Portuguese champions have gone two games without victory. Saturday's 2-2 draw with Sporting Lisbon followed a 3-2 home loss to Maritimo.

Ajax: Ten Hag's men have taken 12 points from a possible 15. They recovered from a 1-0 loss to Groningen to thrash Heerenveen 5-1 on Sunday.

Previous meetings

Sevilla: Tuesday's Stamford Bridge clash will be Chelsea's maiden match against the Spaniards.

PSG: Marcus Rashford's controversial late penalty sent Manchester United through to the competition's quarter-finals on away goals in 2019 on their only previous meeting with PSG. The two-legged tie finished 3-3 on aggregate.

Porto: City, under the management of Roberto Mancini, defeated Porto 6-1 on aggregate during the last 32 of the 2011-12 Europa League. Sergio Aguero scored in each leg.

Ajax: Liverpool were beaten 5-1 on their only previous trip to Ajax, part of a 7-3 aggregate loss in the second round of the 1966-67 European Cup.
