Match Preview Both Liverpool and PSG head into their Champions League clash sporting exactly the same domestic form, with the two sides having registered five wins from five fixtures in their respective leagues. Klopp's side have maintained their best start to a Premier League season with their five-game winning streak, their most recent victory coming through a 2-1 away win at Wembley to Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool have been named as a strong contender as a title challenger this season after the high-profile additions to their side this summer that saw Alisson, Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri arrive on Merseyside, though they have a tough set of fixtures lying ahead – with fixtures against Chelsea (twice), Manchester City and Napoli looming after their PSG tie. Article continues below Depending on Firmino's eye issue, there is a chance for Shaqiri to be included in the squad, prompting Salah to be moved into a more central role, though Klopp also has the ability to call upon the services of Daniel Sturridge, who had an extremely fruitful pre-season campaign. PSG will be keen to bounce back from their disappointingly early exit in last year's Champions League at the last 16 stage, crashing out at the hands of eventual champions Real Madrid. Edinson Cavani is still recovering from a calf injury sustained during the World Cup finals in Russia , though PSG will be eager to unleash both Mbappe and Neymar onto Liverpool - though the two sides seem relatively matched in attacking threat.<doc-sep>What are they saying? Jurgen Klopp: "PSG are one of the favourites for the competition," he added. "I don't want to play mind games, this side is built for winning the Champions League with the unbelievable quality they have." Thomas Tuchel: "No-one has told me this, in all the talks, I have to win this otherwise I didn't do my job right," Tuchel said. "If anyone had told me (that) I wouldn't have signed the contract. "If we judge ourselves only by the biggest goal in European football, the possibility of a big disappointment is high. Why should we do this? "Sometimes I feel sorry for my team because I know the effort they put in. We play at home against defensive teams and we win and win and win. "It is not because it is easy, it is because these guys show the hunger to win and win and win. It is a point of view (that Ligue 1 is easy) that does not help us within the club."

And with Liverpool in form, it is difficult to look beyond them tonight. Liverpool 3 PSG 1.<doc-sep>
Ian MacNicol/Getty Images Liverpool open their UEFA Champions League campaign against Ligue 1 pace-setters Paris Saint-Germain in Group C at Anfield on Tuesday. The Reds were beaten by Real Madrid in last season's final, but they have the firepower to go far again. Firepower is also something Les Parisiens aren't lacking for, thanks to the presence of Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe. OddsShark has Liverpool at 5-4 to win, with PSG tipped at 41-20. Meanwhile, a draw is 12-5. Date: Tuesday, September 18 Time: 7:45 p.m. BST/2:45 p.m. ET TV Info: BT Sport 2, TNT Live Stream: BT Sport App, fuboTV, B/R Live The fitness of roaming No. 9 Roberto Firmino will be key for Liverpool. He was withdrawn during Saturday's 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium after clashing with Jan Vertonghen. The Brazil international, who took a finger to the eye during the incident, was deemed to be OK after a hospital examination found "an abrasion of the eye," according to James Carroll of the club's official website. Videos you might like Firmino's value is best summed up by how well he has responded to manager Jurgen Klopp's tactics: Having Firmino available will be key for the Reds boss, who needs his star-studded front three to test a suspect PSG defence. The South American and wide forwards Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have the pace to stretch the visitors. Salah pitting his skills against left-back Juan Bernat will be one of the more intriguing aspects of the game. The PSG man is an attack-minded full-back, but he won't want to leave too much space in behind for the Egypt international. However, PSG don't need to spend too much time worrying about Liverpool's attacking menace when they pose a considerable threat of their own. Most of that danger comes from a brilliant front three spearheaded by Cavani, who was on target during Friday's 4-0 win over AS Saint-Etienne. The Uruguay international is making the most of his opportunities this season: PSG are clicking into gear thanks to head coach Thomas Tuchel. His tactics are as progressive as those of Klopp, the man he replaced in the Borussia Dortmund dugout in 2015. The two managers last met in the UEFA Europa League in 2016, with Klopp's Liverpool seeing off Dortmund 5-4 on aggregate. With so much attacking talent on display, it's safe to bank on goals in this one.
