The Premier League leaders had their backs against the wall in the first leg of this Champions League round of 16 tie, but came out on top in the end, and will now be looking to complete the job at Anfield. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
Harvey Elliott’s goal earned Liverpool a 1-0 win over PSG in the first leg, but the real hero was Brazilian goalkeeper Allison Becker, who made nine saves to keep the French side at bay.
It is expected to be a different game at Anfield, where the Reds will have the strong backing of thousands of home fans, but the Ligue 1 champions will hope they can shock the roaring home support.
Arne Slot’s team had a comeback 3-1 victory over Southampton over the weekend, establishing a 15-point gap over second-placed Arsenal, who dropped points in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United.
PSG, on the other hand, rested several key players over the weekend, but that did not stop them from recording a 4-1 win away at Rennes, maintaining their unbeaten league campaign.
