Paris Saint-Germain stand between Liverpool and reaching the quarter-final of the Champions League - and a potential bad omen has emerged ahead of Tuesday night's match.

The result means that avoiding defeat will be enough for the Reds to book a place in the quarter-final where they would face either Aston Villa or Club Brugge.

It has already been confirmed that Istvan Kovacs will be the referee for the clash between Liverpool and PSG at Anfield.



This will only be the second time that Kovacs has refereed a Reds fixture in his career, but it will be the fifth time he has done so for PSG.
