Liverpool have been in great form this season but had the weekend off, so they’ll enter their first-leg Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes either well-rested or potentially a bit rusty.
Before shifting their focus to Europe, Liverpool secured a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at Anfield on Wednesday, carrying that momentum into Paris.
PSG also looked strong over the weekend, cruising to a 4-1 win over LOSC Lille, with all four goals coming in the first half. The Ligue 1 leaders are full of confidence, and that might lead to a decision in the starting lineup that sees a newcomer coming off the bench.
Luis Enrique to make drastic starting 11 decision
L’Equipe reports that Desire Doue has the upper hand in the competition and is currently the favorite to start in attack against Liverpool on Wednesday following his strong recent performances. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is expected to come off the bench later in the match.
