Match: Liverpool vs PSG
When: Tuesday, 11 March 2025, 22:00
Where: Anfield

Liverpool Form

The Reds increased their lead at the top of the Premier League to 15 points this past weekend. They are on track to challenge for the treble. A shock 1-0 loss away to Plymouth ended their FA Cup hopes before a late goal leaked to draw 2-2 at Everton. They squeezed past Wolves 2-1 in their next match.

After drawing 2-2 at Aston Villa, they had two crucial victories. A 2-0 win at Man City was followed by a 2-0 home win over Newcastle where they allowed just three shots. Liverpool won 1-0 at PSG in the first leg a week ago. They were thoroughly battered 27-2 on shots but Alisson pulled off nine saves before the Reds burgled a winner. On Saturday, they beat Southampton 3-1 at Anfield.

Liverpool Team News

Arne Slot is without the injured Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley at the back. Cody Gakpo is the other question mark after suffering with some niggles over recent weeks.

Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota are competing to play as the number nine in this one. Alexis Mac Allister and Andy Robertson will return to the XI after each playing just 45 minutes on Saturday.

Liverpool Motivation

Liverpool will be determined to perform better than a week ago in Paris. They will look to use their crowd to play a high-octane style.

The Reds will play to win but a draw and progress to the quarter-finals would be great too. They play a cup final on Sunday but all focus is on this match.

PSG Form

PSG’s loss in the first leg was their first defeat in 23 matches in all competitions. They went in the Champions League playoffs where a 3-0 victory at Brest was followed by a 7-0 win in the second leg. A 3-2 win at Lyon and a 7-0 victory at minnows Stade Briochin followed in the Coupe de France.

They beat Lille 4-1 ahead of last Wednesday’s first leg. That match saw a superb performance with 70% possession and 27 shots to just two for Liverpool. They somehow contrived to lose that match in the 87^th minute. On Saturday, they won 4-1 at Rennes in the Ligue 1.

PSG Team News

Coach Luis Enrique made eight changes for the weekend win with only Pacho, Joao Neves and Bradley Barcola keeping their places. He is expected to revert to the same XI from a week ago.

Ousmane Dembele is set to play down the middle again. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is set to play down the right wing whilst Goncalo Ramos and midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery will be on the bench.

PSG Motivation

PSG are 100% focused on this match, as shown by the mass rotation at Rennes. They will look to play the same way as last week, dominating possession.

If they can score first, anything is possible. A goal conceded could force them to open up and leave gaps for Liverpool to exploit.

Liverpool have lost just 3 of their last 43 matches (32 wins, 8 draws)
