PSG vs Liverpool: Predicted line-ups for Uefa Champions League clash

Jurgen Klopp is expected to make just one change to the Liverpool line-up that defeated Paris Saint-Germain in September when the two sides renew their rivalry this evening.

An eye injury prevented Roberto Firmino from starting that last clash, with the Brazilian coming on to score the decisive goal in a 3-2 victory for the hosts at Anfield.

However, he is likely to feature from the off at the expense of Daniel Sturridge at Parc des Princes in an otherwise familiar starting XI.

That means starts for the reliable trio of Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum and James Milner in the centre of the park.

Meanwhile, Joe Gomez will be restored at the centre of defence having missed out to Dejan Lovren for the weekend win at Watford.

As for the hosts, Thomas Tuchel is believed to be considering two surprise changes to his line-up as he looks to avoid a defeat that would end PSG’s hopes of reaching the knockout stages.

Marquinhos has been backed to retain the midfield role he occupied at Anfield earlier this year at the expense of Adrien Rabiot.

Full-back Thomas Meunier - who scored in that game - is also expected to miss out, with Thilo Kehrer preferred.

Expected Liverpool XI: Alison, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Expected PSG XI: Buffon, Kehrer, Kimpembe, T. Silva, Bernat, Marquinhos, Verratti, Di Maria, Mbappe, Neymar, Cavani.
