Liverpool start their Champions League journey with a tough tie against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield on Tuesday.

The Reds have won all their matches in the Premier League so far and will go into the game after a fantastic performance against Tottenham on Saturday.

Liverpool lead the Premier League standings but taking on PSG will be a different task. The French champions have a number of attacking outlets but we are blessed with talent all across the field.

Roberto Firmino did pick up an eye injury at Wembley and here is our predicted starting XI for the Reds.

Predicted Liverpool XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Jurgen Klopp

Alisson (GK)

The Brazilian is a sure-shot starter for our first Champions League game of the season and he must maintain a clean sheet against PSG.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (RB)

The English defender was great at Wembley and we should see him start ahead of Nathaniel Clyne as our right-back.

Joe Gomez (CB)

Gomez has formed a great partnership at the back with Virgil van Dijk and should keep his place in the team.

Virgil van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk (CB)

The Dutch defender has been excellent from the first game of the season and going up against Neymar and Kylian Mbappe will be a true test of our defence.

Andy Robertson (LB)

Robertson has been great and will face a major test against the French side on Tuesday.

Georginio Wijnaldum (CM)

One of the goalscorers from Wembley, Wijnaldum must start for us as the Dutch midfielder has been excellent for us this term.

James Milner (CM)

Another player to have started brightly this season, Milner should keep his place in the team to face Thomas Tuchel’s side.

Naby Keita (CM)

The Guinean was guilty of a couple of misses in the 2-1 win over Tottenham but he must aim to score against PSG to make amends.

Mohamed Salah (RW)

Salah was guilty of being extremely selfish against Tottenham but the Egyptian must do better on Tuesday.

Roberto Firmino (ST)

The Brazilian was poked in the eye by Jan Vertonghen and had to be subbed in the last game but he should return for the Reds at Anfield.

Sadio Mane (LW)

The Senegal attacker was another player who was selfish against Tottenham but played a role in Firmino’s goal on Saturday.
