Liverpool travel to Paris for the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie on Wednesday to face a Paris Saint-Germain team in top form.

Luis Enrique’s men currently sit top of Ligue 1 with a 13-point lead after 24 games and have looked unstoppable since the turn of the year.

The French giants impressed again at the weekend with a convincing 4-1 win over Lille and Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has the feeling that PSG could upset Liverpool at the Parc des Prince on Wednesday.

Liverpool are also in top form, which sets up a very intriguing game in Paris, therefore, this is how RTK believes the Reds could line up in the French capital.

As a result, Slot is expected to go with his strongest back four in Paris, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson in the full-back positions.

At centre-back, no changes are expected as Liverpool are expected to field their strongest pairing in Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, who will be tasked with trying to keep PSG’s stunning attacking trio quiet.

Although it is easy to think Liverpool will go with their best team in the usual 4-2-3-1 formation, the PSG clash on Wednesday may see Slot return to the 4-2-4 tactics that caught Man City out at the Etihad last month.

Cody Gakpo has had injury issues in recent weeks, but the Dutch star is back to full fitness and will be in contention to start against PSG in Paris.

However, given the recent form of Luis Diaz, Slot is expected to go with the Colombian again after the Liverpool winger closed in on a Premier League record last time out against Newcastle.
