Confirmed Liverpool line-up to face PSG: Klopp makes a surprise omission
The stage is all set! Liverpool return to Champions League action after a successful tournament last season, where they finished as the runners-up. They seem all ready to take on Paris Saint-Germain, who have been impressive under Thomas Tuchel so far, grabbing 5 wins in 5 league games and scoring a whopping 17 goals.
However, Liverpool fans have every reason to be optimistic about their team’s chances in this year’s edition of the tournament.
The Reds are on an excellent run of form and should be confident ahead of this huge game. But when two quality teams face each other in football, it is always impossible to predict a definite outcome.
Mohamed Salah has been unable to replicate his incredible form from last season but this game presents him with an opportunity to grab the headlines away from Sadio Mane, who has been on fire. The duo’s performance in this game could go a long way in deciding the outcome of this star-studded clash.
The prospect of Liverpool’s defence going up against an in-form Neymar and Kylian Mbappe seems exciting and it will be interesting to see how the Reds handle these red-hot attackers.
A win would certainly set Liverpool’s season on the right track and serve as a huge morale-booster for their Premier League fixtures too. Since the game is at Anfield, it is safe to say that Liverpool are the favourites but it will be interesting to see how the game turns out.
Nevertheless, this one is going to be a firecracker for sure.
Here’s how the team will line up tonight:
