Liverpool will be watching this week to see who they might face in the Champions League last-16 before Friday’s draw confirms their opponents.
The Reds romped to the top of the standings in what was a memorable inaugural league phase for the six-time European champions.
Slot’s side managed to replicate their domestic form and secured statement wins over Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan.
Liverpool also defeated Bologna, RB Leipzig, Girona and Lille to comfortably wrap up qualification before slipping to defeat to PSV with a much-changed team on the final day.
The Premier League leaders will watch tonight’s second legs of the knockout play-off round with intrigue to see who they will face in the last-16 in March.
Liverpool’s top seed honours linked with them with second seeds Barcelona in the bracket for the draw.
The teams which finished 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th in the league phase have now been drawn against each other in the play-offs - and the winners of those ties will then be drawn against either Liverpool or Barcelona.
Those ties are Brest vs PSG and Monaco vs Benfica. And with PSG 3-0 up after the first leg against Brest and Benfica edging past Monaco over two legs, Liverpool will likely face the Parisians or Portuguese giants next.
The Champions League draw takes place at 11am on Friday, 21 February.
Liverpool will play the first leg of their last-16 match away from home on 4/5 March and then the second leg at Anfield on 11/12 March.
