Liverpool are back at Anfield on Tuesday night for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round-of-16 clash against Paris Saint-Germain. Liverpool produced a classic smash-and-grab in Paris last week to take a 1-0 win in the first leg against the Ligue 1 leaders.

PSG had all the chances in that game, but were denied by brilliance from Alisson Becker in goal.

Since that first leg, both teams have been in league action, with Liverpool overcoming a lacklustre first half to beat Southampton 3-1, while PSG rested a host of first-team players in their 4-1 win against Rennes.

Luis Enrique's side had 27 shots compared to Liverpool's 2 in the first leg, but Harvey Elliott's goal separates these two teams heading into this second leg, with Alisson's nine saves a pivotal factor.

Slot said Liverpool were fortunate in Paris so he will know that his team will have to put in a much-improved performance if they are to add a deep run in the Champions League in a season that seems destined to bring the club their 20th league title.

The last time PSG went to Anfield, they faced heartbreak in a group stage game in the 2018-19 season, when Liverpool won 3-2, thanks to a late winner from Roberto Firmino.

Whichever side prevails in this tie will face either Aston Villa or Club Brugge in the quarterfinals, with the English club holding a 3-1 advantage after the first leg of that tie.
