Liverpool vs. PSG: Preview, team news, prediction for Champions League match
Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain will kick off the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday at Anfield, after a thrilling first leg in Paris last week.
Liverpool came away 1-0 winners in that match, although it required a late Harvey Elliott goal that was very much against the run of play as PSG controlled the play for nearly the entire match.
However, the Reds are unlikely to put forth a similar performance, especially at home, which could make PSG's task that much tougher.
Here's what to know about Liverpool and PSG before their second leg match.

Liverpool vs. PSG: What the managers are saying
Arne Slot, Liverpool
(via Liverpool)
"This is the most complete team we've faced so far. What I mean by complete – and OK, we've faced Arsenal and [Manchester] City and it's not that there are big margins – but the intensity they've played at combined with the quality they have... they have so much quality and a great, great, great manager. He lets the team play in a way that is not easy to play against his team; he brings the best out of every player and he brings an incredible work-rate into the team. That's why I think we have to be at our best tomorrow."
Luis Enrique, PSG
(via PSG)
"Our goal is clear: to try to be better than our opponents. Away matches are always more difficult, but we have confidence in what we do well. We also know what we have to improve. We want to have the ball more than our opponents, and from there, we'll see what possibilities come about."
Liverpool vs. PSG prediction
It feels like PSG's squandered an opportunity last week, and Liverpool will be a much tougher opponent at Anfield. The Reds are rightfully favoured to win this match.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 PSG
