Good evening and welcome to Sports Mole's live text coverage of the Champions League Group C clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool at the Parc des Princes.
Just two points separate the four teams in the group heading into the penultimate matchday, but PSG could see their hopes of reaching the last 16 ended if they lose this match and Napoli win at home to Red Star Belgrade.
The same scenario would also see Liverpool through to the knockout stages with a game to spare, but defeat for the Reds today would likely leave them needing to beat Napoli by more than one goal at Anfield next month.
Make sure you don't miss a moment of the action courtesy of our minute-by-minute updates below.
This is the closest group in the competition this season with just two points separating all four teams heading into matchday five, and Napoli, Liverpool and PSG are all separated by just the one point. It is all to play for tonight, then, and this match could be make or break for these two sides in their Champions League hopes.
We will take an in-depth look at both a little later, but first let's check out the team news...
Well, the headline news is that Kylian Mbappe and Neymar - the world's two most expensive players - both start as expected, having missed the weekend win over Toulouse through injuries sustained during the international break.
Both players took part in training earlier this week so it will come as no surprise to Klopp that they are on the teamsheet, but it is a huge boost for PSG considering the impact those two can have on a game.
Mbappe leads the way this season with 11 goals in just nine Ligue 1 appearances so far, while he has also been directly involved in 11 goals from his last 10 Champions League group stages games, scoring six times and providing five assists.

In the unlikely event that both of them are not firing, PSG can then call upon Edinson Cavani, who himself as nine goals in nine games and scored the only goal of the game against Toulouse at the weekend.
Further back it is a team full of quality too, and the teamsheet suggests that they will switch back to a 4-2-3-1 system tonight - although the personnel selected could also enable them to continue with the recently-favoured 3-4-3 formation.
There are four changes from the weekend as Kehrer and Bernat come in alongside Neymar and Mbappe, while Dani Alves again makes the bench having had his first taste of action at the weekend. Buffon gets the nod in goal.
The Senegal international completes a front three with PSG keeper Buffon ranked as the best in the world ahead of even his own side's, with Firmino - the match-winner in the reverse fixture and goalscorer at the weekend, spearheading that.
Salah's opening goal against Watford at the weekend made it six in his last seven games across all competitions, which certainly isn't the form of a one-season wonder.

The England international is back in the side today, though, and interestingly takes the place of Alexander-Arnold - a goalscorer at Watford - rather than Lovren. Gomez will therefore play at right-back, with Lovren continuing to partner the imperious Van Dijk at the heart of the defence.
Milner joins Wijnaldum and Henderson in that midfield trio, the latter of whom was sent off against Watford but is eligible to play tonight as the ban only applies to domestic competition. Fabinho - who has been linked with a move to PSG in recent days - is on the bench alongside Keita and Sturridge.
Often such big occasions with so much riding on the result can disappoint somewhat, but it is hard to see that happening with these two attack-minded teams. It really is a must-not-lose game for PSG, but they never go into games with that mentality and you can be sure that they will be looking to come away with all three points from the very first minute until the very last tonight.
Liverpool will caution against the dangers of underestimating the Belgrade outfit, though, and it is worth remembering that Red Star are also still in with a chance of reaching the last 16 from this group, with all four teams separated by only two points.
Defeat at the hands of Liverpool, coupled with a win for Napoli at home to Red Star, sees PSG eliminated tonight and leaves them facing Europa League football at best in the New Year. Victory, though, lifts them into the top two and would make them overwhelming favourites to reach the last 16, so it really is make or break for the home side tonight.

Incredibly, PSG have won all 14 of their top-flight matches so far this season, smashing both their club record for successive league wins and the all-time record for the best start to a campaign in one of Europe's top five leagues.
All of that has left Thomas Tuchel's side a whopping 15 points clear at the top of the table after only 14 games.
PSG were handed a difficult group, but their tally of five points is their second-lowest at this stage of a Champions League group in its current format, having lost to Liverpool, beaten Red Star and then drawn home and away against Napoli.
PSG have at least scored in all of their last 20 Champions League games, though, stretching back to a 1-0 defeat against Manchester City in the 2015-16 quarter-finals.
Only two of their last 49 European home games of any description have ended in defeat - losing to Barcelona in 2014-15 and Real Madrid last season en route to crashing out in the last 16.
Nevertheless, they are the underdogs heading into this match - despite Tuchel's suggestions to the contrary - and know that defeat would likely leave them with a lot of work to do in their final group game at home to Napoli on December 11.
A draw would most likely mean that Liverpool would need to beat Napoli, but a defeat could see them require a win by more than one goal against the Italian outfit.

In that regard the equation is fairly simple - a Liverpool win coupled with Red Star failing to win away to Napoli would see the Reds through with a game to spare. The Reds currently sit second in the group, behind Napoli on head-to-head record only but above PSG by one point.
Aside from that, Liverpool were on the wrong end of an away goal in their defeat at the hands of Napoli on matchday two before thrashing Red Star 4-0 at home and losing 2-0 away.
In the end, though, Liverpool could have few complaints at losing in Belgrade and now Klopp's side may need four points from these final two games to progress. Breaking their recent poor away form tonight would certainly be an ideal start.
Never before in their illustrious history have Liverpool lost four successive European away games, but despite some of their best performances of last season's run to the semi-final coming on the road, Klopp's side have now won just five of their last 21 such outings.
The Reds are therefore trying to avoid another piece of unwanted history tonight, having never before lost all three of their away Champions League group games in the competition's current guise.
That victory extended their unbeaten Premier League start to 13 matches and kept them in touch with title rivals Manchester City at the top of the table, although they will be expecting a much more open and free-flowing game tonight I am sure.
This one is a tough one to call as it could easily go either way - and could easily be a big score either way too. Games of this magnitude can often be tight and tense affairs, but neither of these teams play like that so hopefully we will see an attacking contest. We can't split them, so we're sitting on the fence with this one.
SPORTS MOLE SAYS: PSG 2-2 Liverpool
There were goals on that occasion too, although Liverpool squandered a host of chances before PSG came from 2-0 down to level things up late on. It looked as though Mbappe's equaliser might be enough to earn a point, but Firmino popped up with an even later winner which could yet prove crucial in this group stage.

Liverpool almost clawed their way back into the tie with a 2-0 victory back at Anfield, when Robbie Fowler was among the scorers, but PSG held on for the aggregate victory before going on to be beaten by Barcelona in the final.
Liverpool, by comparison, have lost just once in their last seven away games against French opposition, although they are without a win in three and their overall record stands at five wins, two draws and seven defeats from 14 visits.
PSG STARTING XI: Buffon; Kehrer, Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat; Verratti, Marquinhos; Mbappe, Neymar, Di Maria; Cavani
LIVERPOOL STARTING XI: Alisson; Gomez, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson; Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane
There is too much space for the hosts to drive forward as Verratti slides a pass in for Mbappe, whose subsequent low ball into the box was only half-cleared by Van Dijk. Bernat was the quickest to react, cutting inside before dragging his finish past Alisson.

PSG win the ball back inside their own half and proceed to rip Liverpool apart with a devastating break. Neymar exchanges passes with Mbappe before then releasing the winger down the left. His low ball into the box is met by Cavani, whose effort is really well saved by Alisson.
However, the ball then falls to Neymar, who passes the rebound into the bottom corner.
Neymar is the top scoring 🇧🇷 in Champions League history with 31 goals.

PSG have been by far the better team in this match so far, but in a role reversal of the Anfield fixture it is Liverpool who had kept themselves in the game.
Lovren and Gomez were both slow to react to the danger inside their own box and were flat-footed as Bernat cut inside before dragging his finish past Alisson at the near post.
The Brazilian exchanged passes with Mbappe to break out down the left flank before Mbappe's low cross into the box found Cavani, who was denied by Alisson. There was nothing the keeper could do to prevent the ball from falling at the feet of Neymar, though, and he tucked away his finish.

The referee - who had earlier missed a red-card challenge from Verratti - initially only awarded a corner, but he was advised otherwise by his officials and James Milner made no mistake from the spot.
PSG were worthy of their half-time lead after goals from Bernat and Neymar, but Liverpool gave themselves a glimmer of hope through Milner's penalty on the stroke of half time. They could not find an equaliser, though, leaving them needing to beat Napoli by two clear goals at Anfield to progress.
Thank you very much for joining Sports Mole for tonight's match as PSG hold on for a crucial 2-1 win over Liverpool which leaves the Reds' hopes of reaching the last 16 hanging by a thread. I will leave you with our match report, and be sure to stick around for reaction too.
From me, though, it is goodbye for now!
