Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg with Paris Saint-Germain.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot may give consideration to dropping Dominik Szoboszlai and starting Harvey Elliott in Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Reds clinched a smash-and-grab 1-0 victory at the Parc des Princes last week thanks to a solitary Elliott strike, but the Englishman was still not handed a first Premier League start of the season for Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton.

However, Elliott was introduced for the second half as one of three changes at the break, and Slot admitted that he may have made a mistake keeping Szoboszlai in the starting lineup as he saw a negative kind of "different energy" from the Hungarian.

As Liverpool will need as many fresh legs as possible against PSG's fast-paced attacking unit, Slot could very well demote the fatigued Szoboszlai entirely, as Elliott joins Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and a fit-again Cody Gakpo in attack.

Gakpo trained on Monday after a knock and will now come into contention to displace Luis Diaz out wide, while Alexis Mac Allister will no doubt return in midfield over Curtis Jones alongside Ryan Gravenberch.

Andy Robertson is also set to come back in for Kostas Tsimikas on the left-hand side, but Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Alisson Becker - who made nine saves in the first leg, his most in a single Liverpool game - will all reprise their roles.

Tyler Morton (shoulder), Joe Gomez (hamstring) and Conor Bradley (hamstring) will play no part in this one.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Elliott, Gakpo; Jota
