Reds hold narrow lead in blockbuster last-16 tie ahead of Anfield decider after late Paris drama

Calm before the storm: Liverpool host PSG at Anfield in their Champions League last-16 second-leg showdown tonight

Liverpool vs PSG

Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain clash again tonight in their huge Champions League last-16 second-leg decider at Anfield. The Reds hold a slender 1-0 advantage in the heavyweight tie after last week’s remarkable victory at the Parc des Princes where goalkeeper Alisson was in inspired form to somehow keep dominant PSG at bay before substitute Harvey Elliott scored an unlikely winner with his first touch just 47 seconds after coming off the bench late on.

It was the very definition of a smash-and-grab win and wounded PSG are out for swift revenge on Merseyside this evening, having managed to give many of their top stars a rest in a 4-1 triumph at Rennes in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Liverpool, meanwhile, had to come from behind to defeat lowly Southampton at home in the Premier League at the start of what is a massive week for the champions-elect that culminates with Sunday’s Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

Arne Slot has received a boost with Cody Gakpo returning to fitness ahead of those massive games, leaving him with something of a selection dilemma in attack. Follow Liverpool vs PSG live below!

Arne Slot hits back over claims Arsenal and Bayern ‘better than Liverpool’

A lot of the pre-match headlines have centred around an apparent feeling in the PSG ranks that Arsenal and Bayern Munich were both better against them this season (both beating them at home) than Liverpool, despite the latter’s dramatic win in Paris.

However, Arne Slot believes it is more to do with the reigning French champions having significantly improved themselves over recent months after some uncharacteristic early-season wobbles.

“Some of them have said Arsenal and Bayern Munich were better than us. That is what I have heard,” said the Dutchman.

“I think what that has to do with is how PSG improved a lot in the two to three months since they played at Arsenal and Bayern.

“At Arsenal they were lower, waiting much more and now they just press all over the pitch and take the risk of one-v-one constantly.

“I cannot influence what they felt – and don’t even know if it is true or not – but I’m hoping they have a different opinion after (Tuesday).”

Arne Slot fires Liverpool warning as wounded PSG seek revenge

Arne Slot insisted at yesterday’s pre-match press conference that Liverpool would likely need their best performance of his short successful reign so far in order to complete the job against PSG tonight.

He also insisted that his side would not be content to try and hold their narrow lead and try and play for a draw.

“Is there a difference (leading 1-0)? No. We try to play every game to try to win,” he said.

“That is also what we tried to do last week, it wasn’t our intention to be so low (deep) all the time.

“(On Tuesday) we want to play a different game, the intention is always the same – we are not going to go for a draw.

“At Manchester City away that wasn’t the situation, at PSG that wasn’t the situation. But we do take confidence from our home game against City where we did have the ball much more and it was much more of an equal game.

“This is the most complete team we have faced so far.

“We have faced Arsenal and City and they are not big margins but the intensity they (PSG) play at combined with the quality – and they are one of the richest clubs – and a great manager it is not easy to

PSG certainly have reasons to believe they can cause Liverpool problems, having done so all too often in the first leg.

Still, their lack of goal-scoring touch is a worry and the fact the game comes under the lights at Anfield is a further complication.

At home, the Reds have to be favourites.

Luis Enrique looks to have the luxury of a fully-fit squad to choose from tonight as PSG plot their quick revenge at Anfield, with no injuries, lingering doubts or suspensions to speak of.

Ousmane Dembele came off the bench to score twice in stoppage time of a heavy 4-1 win at Rennes in Ligue 1 on Saturday, but will surely return to the starting lineup tonight along with the likes of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Influential captain Marquinhos didn’t even make the trip to Brittany as teenage midfield star Warren Zaire-Emery took the armband instead.

Liverpool team news

Liverpool have been handed a timely injury boost ahead of tonight’s game with Cody Gakpo back available after struggling recently with a recurring ankle problem and missing the first leg in Paris, as well as the 3-1 comeback win over bottom club Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Reds boss Arne Slot said the Dutch forward was in contention, but only resumed training at Kirkby on Monday so seems most likely to be on the bench here.

Diogo Jota seems likely to lead the attack again supported by Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Dominik Szoboszlai, though Darwin Nunez has been stating his starting case of late by teeing up the dramatic winner for fellow substitute Harvey Elliott last week and then both scoring and earning a penalty at Anfield on Saturday.

Defenders Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez both remain out due to injury, as does young midfielder Tyler Morton.

Slot could not rotate as much as PSG counterpart Luis Enrique over the weekend, but the likes of Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister and Jota all played bit-part roles against the Saints and will expect to be restored to the starting XI this evening.

One of those famous European nights awaits at Anfield as Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain get ready to contest their massive Champions League last-16 second-leg decider.

The Reds somehow lead this blockbuster tie between the domestic champions-elect of England and France 1-0 after last week’s stunning late smash-and-grab win at the Parc des Princes, where PSG were absolutely dominant and registered 27 total shots but found Alisson in absolutely inspired form before substitute Harvey Elliott then scored with his first touch three minutes from time.

Despite the euphoria of that snatched last-gasp win in Paris, Arne Slot will know that his side need to significantly raise their levels this evening in order to see off an expected fightback from Luis Enrique’s wounded team, who are not used to losing and will fancy their chances of overturning the deficit.

Aston Villa likely await the winners of this tie, with Unai Emery’s side holding a commanding 3-1 lead over Club Brugge ahead of their second leg at Villa Park tomorrow night.

Kick-off tonight is at 8pm GMT, so stay tuned to Standard Sport for live updates throughout – with build-up and all the latest team news coming first.
