Liverpool can’t qualify for the Champions League knockout rounds with a victory over PSG on Wednesday night, but a defeat could spell disaster for their chances.

The Reds stumbled to a 2-0 defeat against Red Star Belgrade earlier this month and find themselves joint-top of Group C with Napoli, one point ahead of PSG, with two games to go.

Jurgen Klopp will be desperate for his team to record a massive away win in Paris, and he has plenty of options available to get the job done.The Liverpool boss has tinkered with the formation in recent weeks, drifting from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1, though Klopp could return to a 4-3-3 in order to solidify his midfield.

Jordan Henderson was sent off at the weekend against Watford, meaning he could start the midweek European clash.

Georginio Wijnaldum’s solid form should be enough to keep him in the line-up, while tough-tackling Fabinho was rested at the weekend and could also start.

Xherdan Shaqiri could drop to the bench in order to start Fabinho, while Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah are all fit and ready to play.Dejan Lovren impressed during the 3-0 victory over the Hornets but is expected to be replaced by fit-again Joe Gomez.

Virgil van Dijk will continue to command the backline, with Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold on either flank.

The Reds’ defence will have plenty to cope with on Wednesday as Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani all look set to start.
