However, it does mean that Liverpool will be well rested ahead of Wednesday’s clash with Paris Saint Germain.

The Reds could hardly have asked for a tougher fixture in the last-16 of this year’s Champions League.

PSG are currently sitting pretty at the top of Ligue 1, 13 points clear of second-placed Marseille and are yet to taste defeat in the league season.

Before hosting Liverpool in midweek, the French champions play Lille at the Parc des Princes on Saturday evening.

Like the others, they have no chance of winning the title, but are only five points below Marseille.

They are a good side under Bruno Genesio, as Liverpool found out during the Champions League game at Anfield in January.

And according to Enrique, Genesio’s team are the perfect ‘dress rehearsal’ for Liverpool on Wednesday, Speaking during a press conference on Friday, the Spanish coach compared the two teams.

“I think that there are similarities between Lille and Liverpool, particularly from a defensive point of view,” he said.

“There’s no better dress rehearsal for facing Liverpool than this game against Lille.

“Tomorrow will be a big game for us against one of our rivals.

We’ll be playing at home, which is a very good thing for us because we’re stronger with our fans.”

It should hopefully help Liverpool that PSG have a tricky game coming into the midweek clash.

If Lille can work them hard, it could play into the Reds’ hands.

However, it has often been the way with Liverpool that they look worse after a longer period without a fixture.

With games coming so quickly, the Reds can get into a proper rhythm, especially when they are winning more often than not.
