Kick-off is 8pm.It's a huge match and a replay of last season's last-16 showdown between the European superpowers.
They'll certainly have to play better than they did in Saturday's 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final drubbing at Manchester City.The tie is live on TNT Sports 1 but you can follow all the action here with Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle in place at the Parc des Princes to bring you all the build-up to kick-off, including team news at 6.45pm, followed by an in-game commentary stream and the best post-match reaction and analysis.Today17:19 BSTLiverpool line-ups for Paris Saint-GermainAs we always do before Liverpool matches, we get our Reds writers to pick what their line-ups would be.And today is no different with some decisions being made over Jeremie Frimpong, Alexis Mac Allister and others.See what Paul Gorst, Ian Doyle and Mark Jones went with HERE.Jeremie Frimpong, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister celebrate the second goal of Liverpool's Champions League win in Marseille earlier this seasonToday17:14 BSTPSG boss Luis Enquire previews the clashLuis Enrique has attempted to ease the pressure on Paris Saint-Germain by dismissing suggestions the Champions League holders are not favourites in their quarter-final clash with Liverpool.The teams meet at the Parc des Princes in tonight's first leg in a rematch of last season's round of 16 when they traded 1-0 away wins before the French side progressed on penalties in the Anfield return.Liverpool go into the game on the back of a dreadful 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final loss at Manchester City on Saturday having won only two of their last seven games in all competitions.By contrast, PSG are top of Ligue 1 and have been allowed to postpone their title showdown with Lens this coming weekend to concentrate on their Champions League defence.The Reds must entertain Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday evening.But Enrique is adamant form will count for nothing going into the rematch with the Reds. I would sign up for the same match but not for the same result."We hope to have more of the ball than Liverpool, but we know how difficult it is, because they are a very good team with a very good coach."Today17:14 BSTLiverpool head coach Arne Slot on tonight's matchArne Slot, along with attacker Florian Wirtz, spoke at last night's pre-match press conference.And here's what the Liverpool head coach had to say about tonight's tie:We can never take a quarter-final of the Champions League for granted, let alone if you face the champions of Europe that fully deserved to win the Champions League last season and again this season are doing very, very, very well.So, I don't look at that much of where we are in the season.
So, it's another chance for us to show that we are not the team that we were [during the] 20 minutes that we prefer to forget in the Etihad, but we were the team in the first 35 minutes.Today17:14 BSTWelcome to our PSG v Liverpool live blogGood afternoon and welcome to our live coverage of tonight's Champions League quarter-final first leg between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool at the Parc des Princes.It's been a lovely day here in Liverpool but it's even warmer in Paris, where Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle have travelled to for this evening's massive match.We'll be hearing from both soon enough once they are in place at the ground, but safe to say it's a massive match for Arne Slot and his players.They owe their supporters after their shocking display in losing Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City 4-0.Any repeat of that performance and the Reds could well be on the end of another hammering.But let's try and be positive. It's been a hugely difficult campaign for the defending Premier League champions, for a myriad of reasons, but they have saved some of their best displays for the Champions League.They are going to need another tonight.
