Liverpool vs PSG – Predicted lineup and team news

Liverpool host Paris Saint-Germain tonight seeking another legendary European turnaround at Anfield.

The Reds trail 2-0 on aggregate after a passive performance in the French capital last week. Arne Slot admitted his side was lucky not to concede more at the Parc des Princes. However, a weekend victory over Fulham has restored some vital confidence to the squad. Liverpool have overturned a two-goal first-leg deficit before, most famously against Barcelona in 2019.

The reigning Premier League champions must rediscover their clinical edge to progress. They have underperformed their expected goals total by 3.8 in the Champions League this term. That statistic represents the largest deficit of any side remaining in the competition. Slot has called for a “perfect balance” between offensive risk and defensive stability. The Reds need to score twice just to level the tie tonight.

Liverpool team news

Curtis Jones is the primary injury concern for the hosts after a half-time withdrawal on Saturday. He suffered a groin issue but managed to train with the group on Monday. Milo Kerkez and Hugo Ekitiké are expected to start after being fully rested at the weekend. Notably, teenage winger Rio Ngumoha is pushing for a Champions League debut after scoring against Fulham.

Alexander Isak is fully fit and ready to lead the line from the start. His return could prove transformative for an attack that struggled for rhythm in Paris. Florian Wirtz continues to be the primary creator, leading the tournament for chances from open play. Dominic Szoboszlai also provides a threat, having created more chances from set-plays than anyone else.

Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexis Mac Allister are all walking a disciplinary tightrope. Each player will miss the semi-final first leg if they receive a booking tonight. Stefan Bajcetic, Alisson Becker, and Conor Bradley remain definitely ruled out with injuries. Giorgi Mamardashvili will continue in goal as he seeks a vital clean sheet.
