Liverpool vs PSG: TV, stream & preview

Jurgen Klopp's men will be aiming to get rid of past demons when they host the Ligue 1 giants at home at Anfield in their massive European opener

Liverpool will open their Champions League account in exciting fashion through a home tie with French giants Paris Saint-Germain, with star forwards Mohamed Salah and Neymar clashing with each other for the first time.

Match Preview

Both Liverpool and PSG head into their Champions League clash sporting exactly the same domestic form, with the two sides having registered five wins from five fixtures in their respective leagues.

Klopp's side have maintained their best start to a Premier League season with their five-game winning streak, their most recent victory coming through a 2-1 away win at Wembley to Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool have been named as a strong contender as a title challenger this season after the high-profile additions to their side this summer that saw Alisson, Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri arrive on Merseyside, though they have a tough set of fixtures lying ahead – with fixtures against Chelsea (twice), Manchester City and Napoli looming after their PSG tie.

Depending on Firmino's eye issue, there is a chance for Shaqiri to be included in the squad, prompting Salah to be moved into a more central role, though Klopp also has the ability to call upon the services of Daniel Sturridge, who had an extremely fruitful pre-season campaign.

PSG will be keen to bounce back from their disappointingly early exit in last year's Champions League at the last 16 stage, crashing out at the hands of eventual champions Real Madrid.

Edinson Cavani is still recovering from a calf injury sustained during the World Cup finals in Russia, though PSG will be eager to unleash both Mbappe and Neymar onto Liverpool - though the two sides seem relatively matched in attacking threat.
