Season no. 2 at Liverpool has tested and tormented Slot in every way — from his side's current 5th-place standing in the Premier League (21 points off the top spot and defending their title), to his not-so-private falling-out with (and subsequent departure of) club legend Mohamed Salah, to the embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Man City — leaving him desperate for a signature moment that might bring the Anfield faithful back onside before season's end.

It'll be a tall task for the Reds, though, with PSG rounding into form at exactly the right time, as evidenced by their 8-2 thrashing of Chelsea in the round of 16. Luis Enrique's side also sits atop the Ligue 1 table, four points clear with a game in hand, after weeks of jostling with Lens for pole position.

PSG vs Liverpool prediction

Given Liverpool's imbalance between defending and attacking, it's hard to not see PSG scoring a few (or more) in this one. PSG 3-1 Liverpool.
