Attention then turns to Paris Saint-Germain, with The Athletic’s Tom Williams joining to give the French perspective ahead of Wednesday’s clash. How dangerous are PSG, and how big a challenge do they pose to a fragile Liverpool side? With confidence shaken and the stakes rising, the panel debate just how crucial these next two games are — not just for Liverpool’s season, but for Slot’s future.
