Liverpool have the chance to make it through to the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2022 on Tuesday.
The Reds come into their game with PSG in good form, having won each of their last four matches.
However, Liverpool struggled away from home against PSG and were fortunate to come through that match with a 1-0 advantage to take to Anfield on Tuesday.
Another lethargic performance against Southampton on Saturday will have worried Arne Slot, but Liverpool got the job done regardless.
And as he prepares to face a PSG side with the handbrake off, here’s the XI we think Slot will send out against the French champions.

Alisson Becker was magnificent against PSG last week.
The Brazilian is a huge part of the reason Liverpool enter this game with a 1-0 lead.
He’ll aim to keep another clean sheet here.
In front of Alisson, Slot has little choice at right-back just at the moment.
Trent Alexander-Arnold did well against Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the first-leg, though, and will be looking to build on that at Anfield.
Along with Alisson, Virgil van Dijk made an error to allow Southampton to open the scoring on Saturday, but there’s no reason to doubt that the captain will be back to his best for a big Champions League night under the lights.

Liverpool will need to be better in midfield against a PSG side who ran and passed all over them last week.
After the paddling they took out in Paris, Slot was always like to give one of his midfielders a rest against Southampton.

That man was ultimately Alexis Mac Allister, with the £35m man now surely certain to return in place of Curtis Jones.
Elsewhere, Ryan Gravenberch will be looking to recapture his form from the winter, while Dominik Szoboszlai will be just as important as ever.
Liverpool’s attack looked impotent for large swathes of both the game against PSG and against Southampton.
However, the Reds have looked at their best in both games when Darwin Nunez is fired up and causing problems for the opposition defence.
It would be a fairly big call from Slot to put faith in Nunez for such a big game, but given that Diogo Jota is not exactly sparkling right now, we think the Dutch coach might just do it.
Mohamed Salah will be joining him in the attack and looking to make his mark after a non-existent display in Paris.
