Five reasons Chelsea really are better off without David Luiz

Chelsea are preparing to once again face Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League and not only do they know the Ligue 1 side quite well these days, but one of their star players is someone both the manager and the fans know inside out.

That turned out to be the case, and ahead of the reunion, here are five reasons the Blues are better off without Luiz.
