Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has been urged to channel Jurgen Klopp's approach when his side takes on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League midweek.

The Reds received the toughest possible round of 16 opponent, despite their finish at the top of the table in the league phase, with second place Barcelona falling on the kinder side of the draw with a tie against Portuguese side Benfica.

Liverpool are flying high at the top of the Premier League, but PSG are also in a rich vein of form themselves having not lost a game in any competition since their 1-0 loss against Bayern Munich in November.

While Slot's cool, calm, and collected approach has served Liverpool extremely well this season, former midfielder Jan Molby believes Klopp's toe-to-toe style would be better suited against the Parisians.

Speaking on LFC TV's preview show ahead of Wednesday night's clash at the Parc des Princes, the Dane outlined what the Reds must do to progress to the quarter-finals.

"I think it’s a case of going head-to-head, toe-to-toe with a very good team," he said.

"As we talked about when Jurgen Klopp was the manager, we tended to go toe-to-toe with everybody, I think we need to do the same with PSG.

"You need to get after them in your moments because I think it will be a game that will go back and forth because they’ve got some exceptional players.

So I think when it’s your moment, I think we need to get after them.

"Whether we are capable of controlling the two games as much as we control games this season.

I’m not so sure because as I said before, I think there will be moments where their star players will come to the fore."

While Liverpool's record under Klopp against the top teams is admirable, Slot has certainly earned his stripes having secured wins against Manchester City both home and away in the Premier League, as well as European triumphs over the likes of Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen without conceding a goal.
