After losing 2-0 in the first leg played in Paris last week, Liverpool will host PSG on Tuesday at Anfield with the hope of making an unexpected comeback in front of their home fans in the Champions League quarterfinals. Despite the disappointing result of the first leg, Liverpool manager Arne Slot seemed hopeful about Tuesday's game.
"We've shown so many times this season in big games we are able to get a big performance. Many were very good. In 49 home games over the last year and a half, in 36 we have scored two goals or more. We have not played all these 49 games against PSG, but the Premier League and Champions League opponents we had were very strong. So there is a belief we can do special things [Wednesday] but we know we need to be very special because we are playing the champions of Europe."
Here's what you need to know ahead of the match against PSG that will take place on Tuesday:
Liverpool XI: Giorgi Mamardashvili; Jeremie Frimpong, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister; Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz; Hugo Ekitike.
**PSG XI:**Matvey Safonov; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Joao Neves, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery; Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Considering their form and the first leg played in Paris last week, I'm expecting PSG to win and to qualify for the semifinals. Pick: Liverpool 1, PSG 2.
