The French side visiting, like their hosts are unbeaten for the season so far. You have to admit their world-class status makes them favourites in this one?

A great boost for the Paris manager knowing he could rest a front man and another front man had to sit out due to suspension in their most recent fixture, over the weekend in Ligue 1. Those two were Neymar and Mbappe, respectively.

With them suffering from no injury scares, plus being so lethally prolific in front of goal – to choose who plays this match is a big tease for Tuchel. During the interview the PSG boss was questioned on this and where he sees fit to play his astonishing frontline. Well, nothing to tell you here, it’s a surprise for you, me, and Liverpool.

This is the German’s first season in charge at PSG and let’s face it, since their previous UCL encounter, they haven’t really faced opponents as worthy as the Reds. He will be pushed against the ropes in this one. Nevertheless, the side from Ligue 1 have already scored 17 goals and have only conceded four in process.

Big stats for a big team. It will be hard for Liverpool to keep out the front three of PSG. This gives us the satisfaction in knowing goals will be scored.
