The two teams met at the last-16 stage just over a year ago and traded 1-0 away wins before PSG ultimately emerged victorious via a penalty shoot-out at Anfield.
En route to winning their first-ever Champions League title last season, PSG knocked out three Premier League sides and are threatening to exert their dominance over English teams once again.
PSG, who will not be in Ligue 1 action before next week’s second leg, have had an extra day to prepare for the Champions League quarter-final first leg as they beat Toulouse 3-1 on Friday before the Reds suffered a 4-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup.
PSG vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 8pm BST kick-off on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports. Coverage starts at 7pm BST on TNT Sports 1.
Bradley Barcola, who scored home and away against Chelsea, is a doubt with an ankle issue that forced him to miss both of France’s friendlies during the international break.
Fabian Ruiz has missed nearly three months of action with a knee injury and was not named in the matchday squad on Friday despite reports he was nearing a return to action.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are set to have Alexander Isak available for the first time since December 20 when he suffered an ankle injury that included a fractured fibula and required surgery.
Arne Slot has been cautious regarding Isak’s fitness so it could be that the Reds’ summer signing is named on the bench as his minutes are managed carefully.
Giorgi Mamardashvili will deputise for the injured Alisson Becker once again and Alexis Mac Allister could be restored in midfield after a substitute appearance at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
A trip to Paris has been made all the more daunting for Liverpool following their 4-0 loss to Man City, which was on the back of defeat at Brighton before the international break.
Furthermore, when factoring in how the Reds - in much better form then - were battered for large spells against PSG at the Parc des Princes last season, all signs point towards a difficult night.
PSG, though, have shown vulnerabilities in defence and we expect that will be the reason for why the tie is still alive in the second leg at Anfield.
This will be only the fifth meeting between PSG and Liverpool in the Champions League and last season was the first time either had won the respective away fixture.
