Predicted Liverpool XI vs Paris Saint-Germain: Anfield awaits as Reds plot Champions League revival | OneFootball

Liverpool return to Anfield on Tuesday night needing to overturn a 2-0 deficit against Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain.

Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored in Paris to give PSG a commanding first-leg advantage, and Arne Slot must now decide how to set his side up for what could be a memorable European night.

Alisson remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, meaning Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected to continue in goal.

Slot is expected to revert to a 4-3-3 after his three-man defensive experiment in Paris backfired, with Dominik Szoboszlai likely shifting to right-back.

Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are set to continue at centre-back, with Milos Kerkez on the left.

Curtis Jones is almost certain to miss out after sustaining a groin injury against Fulham, opening the door for Alexis Mac Allister to come into midfield alongside Ryan Gravenberch.

The biggest selection dilemma is up front. Mohamed Salah did not start in Paris but is expected to return to the team at Anfield.

Alexander Isak is fully fit after his long absence and could come off the bench, with Hugo Ekitike likely to lead the line from the start.

Rio Ngumoha could feature from the left flank after scoring his first Anfield goal recently.

Liverpool must score at least three goals without reply to progress in normal time – a tall order against a side that has kept clean sheets in each of their last three away games.

Anfield has staged some famous European comebacks before, but PSG arrive in better shape than almost any side that has previously been dismantled here.

Slot will need his team to deliver arguably their most complete performance of the season.
