PSG perfect ahead of 'big test' at Anfield
Two teams boasting 100 per cent winning records so far this season will collide at Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Paris Saint-Germain make the trip to Liverpool in the opening round of Group C fixtures having started their Ligue 1 campaign with five successive victories - a run matched by the Reds in the Premier League.
Thomas Tuchel’s side - who kicked off 2018-19 by beating AS Monaco 4-0 in the Trophee des Champions, the French equivalent of the Community Shield - have netted 17 times and conceded four in their domestic division this term.
Four of those goals scored came in a 4-0 home success over Saint-Etienne on Friday, with Julian Draxler, Edinson Cavani, Angel Di Maria and Moussa Diaby on the mark for the Ligue 1 leaders.
Neymar (rested) and Kylian Mbappe (suspended) missed that match at Parc des Princes, but are set to be available against a Liverpool outfit Tuchel expects to provide PSG with a ‘big test’.
“We know that Anfield is one of the toughest trips in Europe. Saint-Etienne was a good rehearsal,” said the French champions’ boss.
“It was good for our confidence ahead of Tuesday's match at Anfield against Liverpool. It will be a big test for us. We are confident, though.”
