Liverpool vs PSG live: Confirmed teams, full line ups in Champions League with Mo Salah left on the bench again

Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain have named their starting teams for their Champions League quarter-final decider at Anfield on Tuesday.

Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia struck in the first leg six days ago as the holders won 2-0 to put themselves on course to reach a semi-final against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

PSG have not played since that victory, while Liverpool beat Fulham 2-0 at home in the Premier League on Saturday.
