Liverpool face PSG tonight in what could be one of the most entertaining UEFA Champions League games of the season.

The two sides head into this evening’s tie in immense form, with PSG winning their last ten games as Liverpool sit top of the Premier League by an incredible 13 points having also topped the Champions League league phase.

Although Liverpool could be without Cody Gakpo for the trip to Paris, the Reds know they have the quality to get a good result against PSG, even with Luis Enrique’s side arguably being the only side to Arne Slot’s who can boast a better run of form.

And Jamie Carragher has now shared his view on who will go through between Liverpool and PSG and to progress to the quarter-finals.

Jamie Carragher tips Liverpool to progress against PSG

Speaking on CBS Sports, the former Anfield defender tipped Liverpool to go through against PSG in this Champions League series, with the pundit saying: “PSG – Liverpool, another tight one, but I have no doubt that the mighty Reds will go through.”

With Enrique lauding Liverpool as the best team in Europe, expectations will be high for the Reds to deliver this evening in the French capital, where a seventh Champions League title is possible with the Premier League all-but wrapped up already.

Indeed, Paul Merson has predicted Liverpool to struggle tonight against PSG given the form the reigning Ligue 1 champions are in, even with former Reds target Khvicha Kvaratskhelia slated to start on the bench for the French giants.

And the unpredictable outcome of this game is what makes it such an interesting tie for Liverpool, who can once again show off their credentials as the best team in the Europe if they can come away with a win against PSG tonight.

How have Liverpool fared in recent Champions League knockout games?

It’s been two years since Liverpool last played a Champions League knockout match, with the Reds last season competing in the UEFA Europa League as Jurgen Klopp’s side were eliminated by eventual champions Atalanta.

Yet looking back at Liverpool’s last six round of 16 Champions League ties, the Anfield side’s record is one that should instil fans with confidence in getting a result tonight in Paris, with Real Madrid the only team to knock out the Merseyside giants at this stage in the last seven years.

PSG’s form might be formidable, but Liverpool are just as feared as the Parisian side for good reason, with Slot’s men on top of the world at the moment when it comes to current form and potential title prospects this year.
