Arne Slot will be facing the press in Paris

Arne Slot is facing more scrutiny than ever before as Liverpool head coach, and so a trip to the European champions is probably the last thing he needs.

Reds boss Slot and his side are in France to take on Paris Saint-Germain, the side that knocked them out of the Champions League last season en route to winning it.

Talk of revenge has been short and sweet though, with increasing focus on the Dutch boss and his role at the club.

He's sure to face plenty of questions about his side's form from the assembled press in Paris, where Florian Wirtz will join the Liverpool manager to answer questions.

Our very own Ian Doyle and Paul Gorst are in attendance, and you can follow all the updates here from around 6.30pm GMT.

Good evening and welcome to the Parc des Princes where we will shortly be hearing from Arne Slot and Florian Wirtz ahead of tomorrow's huge Champions League quarter-final with Paris Saint-Germain.

The biggest game is always the next game but this one feels particularly sizable for both Slot and the grand scheme of Liverpool's season.

Stick with us all for all the updates.

Here we are in the auditorium inside the Parc des Princes ahead of the press conference.

Slot and Wirtz will be in the house soon.

It's lovely and warm outside.

Alexander Isak has been named in a Liverpool squad for the first time since fracturing his leg in December, with the Swede among a 21-man party that has headed to France to face Paris Saint-Germain.

Isak had returned to first-team training last Thursday but was omitted from the squad that lost 4-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

But he is now in line to return to action for the first time since he broke a bone in his leg when being challenged by Tottenham Hotspur's Micky van de Ven in the act of scoring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just before Christmas.

Isak was pictured training with the Reds squad on Tuesday afternoon, with no new injury issues reported for the trip to the French capital.

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker remains out and hoopes to return from his hamstring injury in late April, while Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni all have longer term issues.

Liverpool travelling squad: Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Isak, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Ekitike, Mamardashvili, Robertson, Woodman, Frimpong, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Ngumoha, Misciur.

Hello and welcome to Liverpool's pre-match press conference ahead of the first leg against PSG in Paris.

Arne Slot and Florian Wirtz will be along shortly.
