Liverpool vs PSG: Prediction, H2H and probable line-ups — April 14, 2026
The Champions League returns to Anfield on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, for the second leg of the quarterfinals. After a 0-2 defeat in Paris a week ago, Liverpool faces a monumental task—staging a comeback against a PSG side that looks more balanced than ever.

Match preview
Liverpool, under Arne Slot, are now in full chase mode. In the first leg at Parc des Princes, the Reds conceded twice (to Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia) and looked surprisingly passive. However, a recent 2-0 Premier League win over Fulham has reignited hope within the squad. The big news for fans is the full return of Alexander Isak, who only came off the bench in the first leg. Now the Swede is ready to start, which could completely transform Liverpool’s attacking dynamic. The Reds need at least two goals, all while keeping PSG’s explosive wingers at bay.
Luis Enrique’s PSG arrive in England with a comfortable lead, but at Anfield, that often means nothing. In 2026, the Parisians are not just a collection of stars, but a well-drilled unit with a rock-solid defense. Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé on the flanks are a perfect weapon for counter-attacks, which the visitors will certainly look to exploit as soon as Liverpool go all-in. A key factor will be the absence of Fabián Ruiz, which puts extra responsibility on Zaire-Emery in midfield.
Tactically, Slot will almost certainly revert to an aggressive 4-3-3 after the unsuccessful experiment with three center-backs in Paris. Enrique, meanwhile, will try to suffocate the game through possession, denying Liverpool the ball for long stretches.
Probable line-ups
Liverpool: Mamardashvili – Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez – Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Ngumoha – Ekitike
PSG: Safonov – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves – Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Match facts and head-to-head
- In five meetings between the teams, PSG have won three times, while Liverpool have claimed victory twice
- Liverpool have won only two of their last seven matches, conceding in five of them
- PSG have won eight of their last ten games, including five straight victories
Prediction
Given Liverpool’s poor form in recent matches and the confident football PSG have been displaying, I see the visitors as clear favorites. My prediction: Asian handicap PSG (0) at 1.95
