PSG vs Liverpool: Latest team news, predicted lineup and injuries

Liverpool take on Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their blockbuster Champions League last 16 tie this week.

13 points clear at the top after easing to a 2-0 win over Newcastle United last time out, the Reds are quickly closing in on Premier League title glory.

Liverpool have been just as dominant so far in Europe this season, finishing top of the initial league phase of the Champions League with their only blemish a final day defeat to PSV Eindhoven with qualification long wrapped up.

Their reward was a last 16 meeting with PSG, who put 10 past Brest to ease through the play-off round last month.

Liverpool have a relatively clean bill of health with Joe Gomez their only long-term absentee, recently undergoing surgery on a hamstring injury.

Slot is a bit light on cover at right-back with Conor Bradley expected to miss this week’s first leg as a result of the knock he picked up against Aston Villa last month.

Slot will speak to the media on Tuesday where he is expected to give an update on the Northern Ireland international and the rest of his squad.

FA Cup elimination last month meant Liverpool had the weekend off and head to the French capital fresh and rested.

In between their two clashes with PSG is the visit of Southampton to Anfield on Saturday, a chance for Slot to make changes ahead of next week’s pivotal second leg.

Predicted Liverpool XI to face PSG

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Diaz
