Liverpool arrive at Anfield tonight to seal a place in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Their 1–0 advantage from Paris—sealed by a late Harvey Elliott goal and an inspired nine‑save display from Alisson Becker—offers a slender edge. But Arne Slot knows this is far from done.

Slot could be making three changes. Alisson remains between the sticks. The centre‑back pairing of Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk stays unchanged.

Trent Alexander-Arnold keeps his place, but Andy Robertson returns at left-back, replacing the rested Kostas Tsimikas.

In midfield, Slot shifts Curtis Jones to the bench, bringing back Alexis Mac Allister alongside Ryan Gravenberch. Dominik Szoboszlai fills the number 10 role, providing that creative spark.

Up front, Mohamed Salah retains his spot on the right. Luis Diaz starts on the left. And to lead the line, Diogo Jota is preferred over Darwin Núñez—Slot’s rotation policy and Jota’s recent form tipping the balance.

No surprises. Just intent.

Robertson brings experience and energy on the left; Mac Allister offers tactical intelligence and composure; Jota brings sharpness and unpredictability. This XI blends solidity with flair, designed for urgency.

Liverpool must play cleaner. They must control midfield. They must deny PSG’s technical threats. And with Anfield behind them, they must seize the moment.

Alisson again could be decisive—but this time, his defence must borrow less pressure.

Slot is saying: this is our moment. No holds barred. Progress depends on cohesion. Belief. And intensity.

This isn’t just a lineup—it’s a declaration.
