Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) promises to be a thrilling encounter, showcasing two of Europe's elite football clubs. As both teams prepare for the highly anticipated clash at the Parc des Princes on March 5, 2025, predictions regarding Liverpool's lineup have been circulating among analysts and fans alike. Based on recent assessments, Liverpool's predicted starting XI is expected to feature Alisson in goal; a defensive line comprising Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, and Robertson; a midfield trio of Gravenberch and Mac Allister flanked by Salah on the right wing; with Szoboszlai as an attacking midfielder supporting Gakpo on the left wing and Diaz leading the attack.
The Reds were imperious throughout the all-new Champions League league phase, with their sole defeat arriving on Matchday 8 with a spot in the round of 16 already secure.
However, they weren't exactly rewarded for topping the table. Instead of facing Benfica in the last 16, Liverpool take on one of Europe's form teams in Paris Saint-Germain over two legs.
PSG have scored 21 goals in their last four games across all competitions, including a 7-0 second leg win over Brest in the Champions League knockout-round playoff to finish with an emphatic 10-0 win on aggregate.

Liverpool, on account of finishing top of the tournament's league phase, didn't have to play in the playoff, but have had a busy period in the Premier League in the interim having played five games in 15 days.
