The Reds lost 2-0 at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their quarter-final, and are now major underdogs to progress to the semis against the holders.

Liverpool are in danger of having a truly terrible season so soon after winning the Premier League.
They look unlikely to overturn their deficit against PSG, which would mean no major silverware won this season.
Also, they are in danger of missing out on Champions League football altogether, currently clinching onto fifth place by the skin of their teeth.
Arne Slot is under immense pressure to get three points here, or risk getting the sack come the end of the campaign.
As for Fulham, they have their own ambitions of getting into Europe, and are just five points behind Liverpool in fifth.
Their recent record against the Reds suggests they could maintain or even close the gap here too, and will have no fear of going to Anfield.
Eyes will be on former Liverpool player Harry Wilson to see if he can inspire his team, given his star performances for Fulham this season.
Marco Silva's also running out of contract, and a big result here could see him attract further potential suitors come the summer.

Whispers predicts: Liverpool 1-1 Fulham
Liverpool are 4/6 favourites to win, but given their recent poor form, we feel these odds are too short to take.
Instead, we fancy Fulham to cause an upset, and a Double chance - Draw/Fulham at 13/10 seems a nice opening bet.
BTTS - Yes at 3/5 seems a more realistic option though, given it has come through in the last seven H2Hs!
Given the impressive season he is having, we are also tipping Wilson to have an impact here against his former club, and so Harry Wilson to score or assist at 13/8 is our final pick.
Overall, we are predicting a 1-1 draw, which is available at 8/1.
> BTTS - Yes at 3/5 | Likelihood: Probable
> Double chance - Draw/Fulham at 13/10 | Likelihood: Possible
> Harry Wilson to score or assist at 13/8 | Likelihood: Possible
