Chelsea not favourites against PSG this time, says Blanc

Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc claims a sense of familiarity with Chelsea will make it "easy" to prepare for their Champions League tie and insists his side are not underdogs to proceed.

The teams have met in each of the last two seasons - both sides winning one tie apiece - and will face off again after Christmas, having been paired in Monday's draw for the last 16.

Although their domestic campaigns have taken different paths with PSG 17 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 and Chelsea struggling in the lower reaches of the Premier League, Blanc does not believe there is a clear favourite.
