Two of Europe’s most formidable sides are set to clash as Liverpool journey to the French capital to face Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their highly anticipated Champions League Round of 16 tie on Wednesday evening.
This heavyweight encounter pits the Premier League leaders against the Ligue 1 pacesetters in what promises to be one of the most captivating fixtures of the knockout phase.
Both clubs enter this prestigious European clash enjoying exceptional domestic campaigns.
Liverpool have established a commanding 13-point advantage over Arsenal at the Premier League summit, while PSG hold an identical 13-point lead in Ligue 1, with both sides firmly on course for domestic glory.
Their paths to this stage of the Champions League, however, have differed significantly.
While Liverpool finished first-in-class, PSG endured a more challenging route to the round of 16, securing only 15th position in the league phase before emphatically dispatching fellow French side Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the playoff round.
Liverpool will be without defenders Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley, both suffering from thigh injuries, while midfielder Tyler Morton remains unavailable?
However, Slot otherwise has a largely fit squad to select from.
The Liverpool travelling squad is:
Alisson, Endo, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Robertson, Gravenberch, McConnell, Jaros, Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Davies, Nyoni.
