Liverpool XI vs PSG – Predicted lineup and team news

Yahoo Sports

Liverpool XI vs PSG – Predicted lineup and team news Liverpool travel to Paris tonight, aiming to rescue their season with a professional away result against the defending European champions. The Reds reached the quarter-finals after a convincing 4-1 aggregate win over Galatasaray. Slot, however, oversaw a difficult domestic weekend before turning his attention to Paris.

Despite that disruption, he remains optimistic as his side returns to the scene of last season’s shootout defeat. Both clubs have recorded three wins each in their previous six meetings, underlining just how evenly matched this tie promises to be. Liverpool have won six of their last eight quarter-final ties.

That record, combined with the experience running through Slot’s squad, gives the Reds genuine reason to believe they can cause an upset at the Parc des Princes tonight. Liverpool team news Slot receives a timely boost in the forward line heading into the tie. Alexander Isak returns to the matchday squad after four months out with an ankle fracture, though he is expected to feature from the bench as he builds up his match fitness.

There is less positive news between the posts, however. Alisson Becker remains sidelined with a hamstring issue, ensuring Giorgi Mamardashvili continues in goal. New additions Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitiké are both set to start, with the latter facing his former club for the first time — an intriguing subplot to an already compelling evening.

At full-back, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez will provide the energy needed to combat PSG’s pacey wingers. In midfield, meanwhile, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister provide the platform for Dominik Szoboszlai to influence proceedings further forward. Out wide, Mohamed Salah starts on the right, aiming to add to his European tally after a frustrating domestic outing on Saturday.
