Liverpool have won both previous meetings with Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, prevailing 2-0 in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1997 and 3-2 in this competition seven years ago.
Overall, the Reds have won each of their last five home matches against French clubs; PSG have lost their last three fixtures in England.
Liverpool vs Paris Saint-Germain Preview
After pulling off the ultimate smash-and-grab in the French capital last mid-week, Liverpool are in the box-seat for progress. Six nights ago in Paris, the home side had 27 shots, ten of which were on target, racking up an xG figure of 2.58. Meantime, the Reds mustered two shots, only one of which found the target, their xG figure a miserly 0.25. So, of course, it was Arne Slot's side who prevailed 1-0 at Parc des Princes. Alisson had the self-proclaimed game of his life before, with just two minutes to play, Harvey Elliott slotted past Gianluigi Donnarumma to pinch victory with his first touch all night.
Given their advantage, most make Liverpool strong favourites to reach the quarter-finals, where Aston Villa most-likely await, while the Reds are touted by many as the front-runners to win the whole thing. Slot's side topped the league phase, notably enjoying victories over AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid en route. Meantime, the Reds are now 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League, following Saturday's come-from-behind 3-1 victory over Southampton; Darwin Núñez equalising before Mohamed Salah converted two penalties. So, ahead of Sunday's EFL Cup Final, will Liverpool claim another victory and reach the last eight of the Champions League?
As for Paris Saint-Germain, they've exited the Champions League in exactly the round of 16 in five of the last eight seasons and, despite having gone in a different direction on the field, it's set to be same old again. Anyone know the French for déjà vu? Prior to the first leg, Luis Enrique's side had won five successive matches in this competition, hammering Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the previous round. Meantime, Saturday's 4-1 demolition of Rennes leaves les Rouge-et-Bleu 16 points clear at the top of Ligue 1, still unbeaten domestically. Nevertheless, les Parisiens are yet to prove they can compete with Europe's best, beaten by Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid during the league phase. Thus, it would be a major surprise if PSG were able to produce a remontada at Anfield.

Liverpool Team News
Arne Slot rotated his team a bit against Southampton on Saturday but, so disgusted with their first half performance, 1-0 down at the interval, he made a trio of substitutions. Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister and first leg hero Harvey Elliott were all introduced, with the latter duo for certain set to return to the lineup.
Meantime, Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez and Cody Gakpo remain sidelined while, having scored at the weekend, will Slot show faith in Darwin Núñez, or will Diogo Jota be back leading the line?
Lastly, a quintet or players would sit out the first leg of a quarter-final tie if booked, namely Mac Allister, Robertson, Elliott, Ibrahima Konaté and captain Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Paris Saint-Germain: (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Luis Díaz, Núñez.
Liverpool Player to Watch vs Paris Saint-Germain
Mohamed Salah's double at the weekend means he has a ludicrous 32 goals and 22 assists to his name this season, while the Egyptian has scored against 25 different opponents in the Champions League, but never Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain Team News
Luis Enrique made eight changes at Rennes on Saturday, his side still ran out 4-1 winners in Brittany, but he's expected to revert back to the first leg lineup. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia thought he'd broken the deadlock a week ago, the goal narrowly disallowed for offside, but he'll certainly be a threat again.
Captain Marquinhos, Fabián Ruiz and Ousmane Dembélé are all one caution away from a ban, albeit there's currently not going to be a next match they could be suspended for.
Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; João Neves, Vitinha, Fabián; Dembélé, Barcola, Kvaratskhelia.
Paris Saint-Germain Player to Watch vs Liverpool
Ousmane Dembélé's brace off the bench at the weekend means he's now scored a ridiculous 23 goals in 18 appearances since 15 December, including five across PSG's last two Champions League away games.
Liverpool vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
We're forecasting a high-scoring clash on Merseyside, but one that'll end in celebration for Liverpool, as we simply cannot see PSG winning at Anfield: Liverpool 2-2 Paris Saint-Germain.
