Liverpool’s line-up for the match against PSG has been shaped by decisions regarding Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones, particularly in light of injury concerns.

Ahead of the match against PSG, Liverpool has confirmed its lineup, taking into account injury fears related to Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones.

After a period focused on domestic competitions, Liverpool now turns its attention back to the Champions League on Wednesday night, facing a formidable opponent in Paris Saint-Germain.

The Reds kick off their knockout stage with a visit to the Parc des Princes, having topped their group in the earlier rounds.

Arne Slot may feel his team has drawn a challenging opponent, as PSG is currently one of the strongest teams in the tournament.

Under the management of Luis Enrique, PSG has been prolific in front of goal recently, advancing from the playoff round with a resounding 10-0 aggregate victory over Brest.

This match will pose a significant challenge for Liverpool, who currently hold a 13-point lead in the Premier League.

Slot faces critical decisions regarding his team selection.

As Liverpool’s match importance has escalated since the start of the year, this encounter may prove to be the toughest yet for Arne Slot, as the high-flying PSG welcomes the Premier League leaders.

Conversely, this could also be one of PSG’s most challenging fixtures this season, particularly when compared to their previous Champions League clashes with Arsenal and Bayern Munich.

With Southampton, currently at the bottom of the league, set to visit Anfield this weekend, there is little incentive to rest players in France, suggesting that Slot will field his strongest possible side.

A key consideration is whether he will revert to the four-man midfield that worked effectively against Manchester City.

This would necessitate the exclusion of a striker, and with Cody Gakpo uncertain, it is likely that Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah will operate as wide forwards, while Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai will be tasked with penetrating central areas from deeper positions. Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez will be available as substitutes.

Andy Robertson will retain his position at left-back for this match, and with Conor Bradley unavailable, Trent Alexander-Arnold is assured a starting role.

The formation is 4-4-2, featuring Alisson in goal; a defensive line of Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, and Robertson; a midfield comprising Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Jones, and Szoboszlai; with Salah and Diaz leading the attack.
