Liverpool will host PSG in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie at Anfield on Wednesday. Arne Slot's side somehow escaped the Parc des Princes last week with a 1-0 win, courtesy of an 87th-minute winner scored by substitute Harvey Elliot, as a wasteful PSG failed to find the net from any of their 27 attempted shots. Here The Daily Star presents you with a few highlights of the second leg of the tie: 

*This will be just the fourth Champions League meeting between Liverpool and PSG.

*They previously played each other in the 2018-19 group-stage, with the Reds winning 3-2 at home and losing 2-1 away, prior to their meeting in the last-16 first leg in the ongoing edition last week which The Reds won 1-0.

*PSG have lost on their two previous visits to Anfield (in 1997 and 2018).

*Salah has played more games against PSG without scoring than against any other opponent in the Champions League (three).

*The Egyptian has 54 goal contributions (32 goals, 22 assists) in all competitions this term -- the most by any player in Europe's top five leagues.

*Liverpool had just two shots, collectively worth 0.27 expected goals (xG) in the first leg in Paris; it was their fewest goal attempts on record in a knockout game in this competition.

*In the first leg, Salah failed to attempt a shot for just the second time as a Liverpool player in the Champions League, following a blank against Real Madrid in March 2023.

*Liverpool have won all four of their Champions League at home this season, meaning Slot could become the first manager to win each of his first five home matches in charge of an English side in this competition.

*Liverpool are on a run of progressing in 14 Champions League ties when winning the first leg and have never been knocked out in a European tie in which they won the first leg away from home.
