Anfield is set for another memorable European night as PSG visit the famous ground to take on Liverpool on the opening matchday of the 2018/19 Champions League.

The two most prolific teams in last season’s group stages go head-to-head in what is already being labeled the group of death.

Both of these clubs saw their Champions League hopes ended by Real Madrid last season, but that will not divert from the fact that PSG are chasing European glory – they have been for some time.

Domestic success has been consistent and their brand has never been bigger, and yet something seems to evade them when it comes to grinding out results in the knock-out stages of the continent’s biggest club competition.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will be confident that their phenomenal European run last season will stand them in good stead to open up Group C with a win against a team which has a habit of withering under expectation.
