PSG predicted XI v Liverpool: Luis Enrique to field the same team as last week | OneFootball

PSG are tasked to overturn a one-goal deficit to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals at Liverpool’s expense tonight at Anfield. Luis Enrique’s Les Parisiens must deliver a perfect display to inflict Arne Slot’s Reds an early exit in the competition they previously topped the standings. Last Wednesday, the Ligue 1 leaders completely outplayed the Premier League runaway leaders, but they ultimately failed to make their domination count. They conceded a late Harvey Elliott goal at Parc des Princes.

On Saturday, PSG head coach Luis Enrique proceeded to a wide turn-over against Rennes to rest key players in preparation for tonight’s Champions League showdown at Anfield. The Spaniard is expected to field the same team Liverpool struggled to contain last week. Warren Zaïre-Emery, who has just returned from injury, is poised to start on the bench with Luis Enrique trusting an energetic midfield trio composed of João Neves, Fabián Ruiz and Vitinha.

Up front, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé – who made late cameos on Saturday – will lead the line. Bradley Barcola is expected to get the nod to start on the right wing ahead of Désiré Doué. Fabian Ruiz and skipper Marquinhos will miss a potential quarter-finals first leg should they enter Istvan Kovacs’ books tonight.
