Somehow leading 1-0 after a frenzied first leg, Liverpool hope to finish the job against Paris Saint-Germain when they host the Ligue 1 champions in Tuesday’s Champions League last-16 second leg.
The Reds were indebted to Alisson Becker and Harvey Elliott at the Parc des Princes last week, as the former pulled off numerous top-class saves before Elliott came off the bench to net the only goal of the contest.
Alisson went from hero to zero as his blunder gifted Southampton the opening goal in Saturday’s Premier League affair, but Arne Slot‘s men turned the tide in the second half to win 3-1 and move a step closer towards the title.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Luis Enrique‘s side, who thumped Rennes 4-1 in Saturday’s French top-flight battle.
