Liverpool vs PSG: Champions League Showdown Under the Anfield Lights

Reds on the Brink of Quarter-Final Glory

Liverpool stand on the cusp of a Champions League quarter-final berth as they prepare to host Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield. A dramatic first-leg victory in Paris has given Arne Slot’s side the edge, but with PSG’s firepower, this tie is far from settled.

Harvey Elliott’s last-gasp winner stunned the Ligue 1 giants, handing Liverpool a 1-0 lead despite a performance that saw them mainly on the back foot. Even Slot conceded that his team rode their luck, while PSG boss Luis Enrique labelled the result an “injustice.”

Alisson Becker’s heroics played a crucial role, keeping the French champions at bay with a string of breathtaking saves. But now, under the floodlights of Anfield, Liverpool have the chance to finish the job.

Team News and Predicted Line-Ups

Liverpool received a boost after Slot confirmed Dominik Szoboszlai had not suffered an injury despite being taken off in the 3-1 win over Southampton. The Hungarian is expected to start, while Cody Gakpo remains doubtful. Tyler Morton, Conor Bradley, and Joe Gomez are unavailable due to injury.

PSG, meanwhile, are set to welcome back key names. Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and Gianluigi Donnarumma are all expected to return after being rested for the victory over Rennes.

Can PSG Turn the Tide at Anfield?

PSG will take confidence from their dominant first-leg display, but their failure to convert chances cost them dearly. The challenge now is overcoming both Liverpool’s lead and the formidable atmosphere at Anfield.

Liverpool, on the other hand, know that controlling the tempo will be key. With home advantage, they’ll back themselves to finish the job and progress to the quarter-finals.
