Liverpool vs PSG Lineups April 2026 – Liverpool require a spirit of resurgence similar to what they showed in the 2018-19 season as they host Paris Saint-Germain at home in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final.

With the iconic Anfield atmosphere and a history of remarkable comebacks, this match is certain to be a highly captivating spectacle.

The match is scheduled to take place at Anfield on Tuesday, 14 April 2026 at 08.00 PM local time.

Arne Slot suffered a 2-0 defeat to the European champions in the first leg last week, although the result could have been far worse for The Reds, who are not yet completely eliminated.

Before the match begins, let us take a look at Mansion Sports’ prediction for the Liverpool vs PSG lineups April 2026 below.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Liverpool

The flow of the first leg unfolded as expected in terms of the final result, although Slot made a surprise by implementing a more defensive 3-5-2 formation, in which there was no place for the player set to leave Liverpool, Mohamed Salah.

In what may have been his final European away match with The Reds, the Egyptian could only watch as Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia secured a 2-0 victory for PSG, even though the reigning champions did not fully dominate against Slot’s strategy.

Liverpool’s Expected Goals of 0.17 at Parc des Princes was the lowest under Slot so far, but the Premier League champions could have lost by three or four goals, making the 2-0 deficit still recoverable.

The Anfield factor once made the difference when Liverpool achieved a 4-0 comeback against Barcelona in the semi-final seven years ago, and Slot’s team ended their three-match losing streak at the right moment with a 2-0 victory over Fulham in the Premier League last weekend.

The win over Fulham marked Liverpool’s fourth victory from their last five matches at Anfield, where they remain unbeaten and have scored a total of 15 goals, providing hope for another extraordinary comeback.

PSG

With no scheduled match at the weekend before the second leg, PSG were supposed to face Ligue 1 title challengers Lens between the two matches against Liverpool, but authorities granted their request to postpone the game.

Protests from Lens were ignored by the Ligue de Football Professionnel, which aims to assist Luis Enrique’s side in defending their Champions League title, and they currently have one foot in the semi-finals.

The victory in Paris last week marked Les Parisiens’ fifth consecutive win, and although they are not as dominant as in the 2024-25 season, their chances of securing both the league and Champions League titles remain wide open towards the end of the season.

PSG have also performed very well away from home, with four consecutive away wins—while keeping clean sheets in their last three matches—and they have scored in every away match since the start of the year.

Enrique also led his team to a 1-0 victory at Anfield in the second leg of the Round of 16 last season before eventually winning on penalties, and even a defeat by the same scoreline in this match would be enough to send them to the semi-finals against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Liverpool vs PSG Lineups April 2026

Liverpool (4-2-3-1)

From a squad condition perspective, Liverpool’s victory over Fulham in their last Premier League match did not come without cost, as Curtis Jones had to be substituted in the first half due to a groin injury, although the midfielder surprisingly trained on Monday and could feature.

Alisson Becker (not mentioned), Wataru Endo (ankle), Giovanni Leoni (ACL), and Conor Bradley (knee) remain in the treatment room, but Slot is likely to use the same squad as against Fulham, where Rio Ngumoha became Liverpool’s youngest goalscorer in the Premier League at Anfield.

The 17-year-old—who broke Raheem Sterling’s record on Saturday—will likely be the preferred choice if the decision were left to the fans, and he appears to have done enough to earn a starting place in this crucial match.

PSG (4-3-3)

Meanwhile, from the visiting team’s squad condition, PSG do not have fitness issues following their 2-0 victory in the first leg, and with full rest over the weekend, there are no new concerns for Enrique.

The reigning champions are also strengthened by the return of Bradley Barcola to the squad after recovering from an ankle injury sustained against Chelsea last month.

Fabian Ruiz (knee) remains unavailable, while Kvaratskhelia and Nuno Mendes—who troubled Salah—will miss the first leg of the semi-final if they receive a yellow card in Merseyside.

The match is predicted to be highly intense, with Liverpool attempting to produce a dramatic comeback, while PSG aim to maintain their advantage. The atmosphere at Anfield, tactical approaches from both coaches, and player performances will be key factors in determining the final outcome of this match.
