Jurgen Klopp is expected to make only a change to the Liverpool squad that beat Paris Saint-Germain in September when both sides resumed their rivalry tonight.
An injury to the eye prevented Roberto Firmino from starting this last confrontation. The Brazilian scored the decisive goal in the hosts' 3-2 win at Anfield.
However, it is likely to appear initially at the expense of Daniel Sturridge at the Parc des Princes in an otherwise familiar starting lineup.
That means starting for the trusted trio Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum and James Milner in the center of the park.
Meanwhile, Joe Gomez will be reinstated at the defense center after missing Dejan Lovren for the weekend win at Watford.
As for the hosts, Thomas Tuchel is considering two surprise changes to his lineup to avoid a defeat that would put an end to PSG hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
Marquinhos was supported to retain the midfielder role he held at Anfield earlier this year at the expense of Adrien Rabiot.
The back Thomas Meunier – who scored during this meeting – should also miss, with Thilo Kehrer being preferred.
Liverpool XI expected: Alison, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
PSG XI expected: Buffon, Kehrer, Kimpembe, Silva, Bernat, Marquinhos, Verratti, Di Maria, Mbappe, Neymar, Cavani.
