Cody Gakpo looked as though he was making his Liverpool return at the perfect time.

But a start in Paris looks highly unlikely, which will force the head coach into a decision.

Perhaps the simplest solution would be to shift Luis Diaz back out to the left, leaving one of Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez to take their natural berth through the middle.

But it has to be said that neither Jota nor Nunez are in particularly sparkling goalscoring form.

While Salah has more than made up for any shortfall, Liverpool will not want to turn up to the Parc des Princes with a one-dimensional threat.

Slot might think about the winning formula he used away to Manchester City.

It gave Liverpool a really solid look without undermining its threat, making it well-suited to a European away first leg.

Having said that, while Liverpool looks to have effectively written off Nunez at this point, the same is not true of Jota

But there would be few better places to announce his return than at the Parc des Princes.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Jota, Diaz.
