Why Liverpool will wear home kit against PSG

Liverpool will wear their home kit for Wednesday’s Champions League encounter with Paris Saint-Germain in France.

The home side have elected to sport the all-white away strip they wore at Anfield back in the first meeting between the teams in September, which the Reds won 3-2.

It means Jürgen Klopp’s side will be in all-red at the Parc des Princes.

Liverpool have been dealt a blow ahead of their Champions League visit to Paris Saint-Germain after the French champions hinted that Kylian Mbappe and Neymar will start.
Mbappe was hooked off with a bruised shoulder during France’s friendly against Uruguay last week whilst Neymar lasted just eight minutes when Brazil played Cameroon before being withdrawn with an inductor strain.

And Liverpool fans had been hopeful that both players would be forced to sit out when their side travels to Paris for a match that will determine who takes control of their own destiny in Group C.

But PSG boss Thomas Tuchel said on Saturday that his two front-men could yet be fit to play some part on Wednesday.

“I am more optimistic than yesterday about Ney and Kylian,” said the German. “They will be able to train on Monday.”

The French champions continued their flawless start to the Ligue 1 season on Saturday in the absence of their marquee strikers with a 1-0 win against Toulouse at the Parc de Princes, Edinson Cavani scoring the goal after nine minutes to move them 15 points clear after just 14 games.
