    "Former Wimbledon champion - and professed Chelsea fan - Boris Becker is doing a spot of pre-match punditry pitchside.

    "Mustn't be much going on in the tennis world to keep him occupied."

    "There is an arrogance about them, they strut about the pitch. There are some big egos out there, it is a special PSG team. Thiago Motta will pull the strings in Marco Verratti's absence."

    I like to imagine a Leicester front three of Zlatan, Vardy and Tevez next year John. Why not?

    Nobody's getting in that midfield though. Or displacing Huth & Morgan at the back...

    Sean Craddock: Leicester can't sign Zlatan. Nobody can. Only Zlatan can sign Leicester

    John Fernandes: Can you imagine Zlatan having to play behind Vardy? That would be really interesting

    Chelsea

    Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink: "We are underdogs tonight. Everyone knows our run in the first half of the season and we play a very solid team tonight.

    "Diego Costa is focussed on his job which is to score a goal, I have no complaints about him. He likes to play on the edge but that is what we like.

    "We had to reshuffle our defence and Kenedy is a young guy with lots of confidence. I back him."

    Just 20 minutes to go until kick-off then. Central midfield was identified as a key area for tonight's game by Martin Keown.

    It looks like Blaise Matuidi, Thiago Motta and Adrien Rabiot v Cesc Fabregas and John MIkel Obi.

    Advantage Paris?

    Otto Wolf: Zlatan has far too big of an ego to go to any team that isn't challenging for the title

    Capital R: No chance. Leicester isn't big enough for Zlatan. Simple #BBCFootball, external

    Rayan De Rapperdict: Ibra to "Leista"? don't let Ibra hear this, he will say he is bigger than the team.

    Who will the champions of England be big enough to sign [if it is Leicester?] this summer? It promises to be a fascinating question...

  12. Next goal wins?published at 19:19 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2016

    Chelsea v PSG (19:45 GMT)

    A 1-0 win would see Chelsea through this evening. Chelsea have scored in each of their last 22 Champions League home games. The last time they failed to was in April 2011 against Manchester Utd (0-1).

    Zlatan to Leicester is a real 'football manager' signing isn't it? The sort of free transfer I live and die by.

    Taribo West? At Northampton? Sure, that will work...

    Would love to see Zlatan fail at Chelsea a la Shevchenko. Not many clubs would put up with his ego, certainly not Leicester. In fact only Chelsea makes sense as a potential destination, they're made for each other.

    Beth, Tottenham

    Zlat to Leicester? He'd fit in well with Gokhan Inler in the reserves...

    Mick, Leicester.

    "PSG can almost target the Champions League as they are so far clear in the league. They can rest players and really focus on it."

    "PSG dominate their own league, they are 20-odd points clear, but they can still attract the top players. They look a quality team now, they go from step to step.

    "But can they go on and win the Champions League? Let's see."

  17. Benfica are throughpublished at 19:09 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2016

    Benfica are through to the last eight after a win in cold, cold Russia this evening.

    The fact that we are even having this debate is magnificent. Cambiasso first, Zlatan next?

    On a very serious note, with Champions League football pretty much in the bag for the Foxes already, they will be able to attract some big, big names this summer.

    Exciting times.

    *And then probably disrupt the fabled team spirit and go down.

    Richard Thiardt: Two big calls by Hiddink in Kenedy and Cesc. Agree with the latter we'll see about the former.   

    Geoff Naylor: Ibrahimovic - who's a traditional, relatively static centre forward - wouldn't fit Leicester's style of counter football at all

    Ali Meghji: RE 18:54 Does Keown think that Leicester wouldn't take Ibrahimovic?
