Liverpool are enduring a difficult 2025-26 campaign as a whole under Arne Slot, who delivered a Premier League title in his debut season with the club.
The Reds are close to consecutive Champions League eliminations by PSG following last term’s round of 16 exit on penalties after holding a first-leg advantage.
Liverpool have conceded before half-time in three of their last four matches.
Liverpool return to Anfield in an even tougher position this time, requiring at least two goals to force extra time after last week’s defeat in France.
The Reds face a demanding task, having overturned a two-goal first-leg deficit in Europe only once, although history provides a source of belief.
Liverpool famously recovered from a three-goal deficit against Barcelona in 2019 before progressing to the final, where they defeated Tottenham to secure a sixth European title.
The Reds also approach Tuesday’s contest with renewed confidence after ending a three-game losing run with a 2-0 victory over Fulham at the weekend.
PSG have scored 2+ goals in five successive UCL matches.
PSG also carry their own history of surrendering strong leads in Europe, including collapses against Barcelona in 2017 – from a four-goal first-leg lead – and Manchester United in 2019, when they lost on an away goal despite winning 2-0 in the first leg.
Recent performances, however, indicate a far more composed side, with five consecutive wins across all competitions.
The French champions benefit from additional preparation time after their domestic fixture was postponed.
PSG are aiming to reach a third successive Champions League semi-final, a feat no French club has previously achieved, while also targeting a fifth straight knockout victory over two legs against Premier League opposition.
