European champions Paris Saint-Germain host Liverpool in the first leg of a mouthwatering Champions League quarterfinal.
These two sides met a round earlier last season and could not be separated before Luis Enrique's men triumphed on penalties at Anfield.
It's fair to say each team's fortunes have differed since, with Liverpool looking a shadow of the side that romped to Premier League glory last season.
However, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz have game-breaking potential, and Mohamed Salah would dearly love another deep Champions League run before calling time on his Liverpool career, while Monaco showed PSG's lurking vulnerability in the playoff round.
