There were not too many teams that got the better of Liverpool last season. Arne Slot's side lost other games at the end of the season and dropped other points here and there that didn't matter, but it was those three fixtures that he kept coming back to.

PSG, a team that Slot has referenced multiple times over the last few months and who became the eventual European champion, finished 15th in last season's league phase. But the simple fact is that Liverpool doesn't need to win as many games in the league phase as it did last year.

When Slot has spoken about admiring PSG's fluid forward line and multiple world-class options in decisive areas, it is that which he wants to replicate at Anfield rather than a lowly finish in the Champions League group phase. But there are also six more games in which Liverpool can collect points and close the gap to the top of the standings after it already beat Atletico Madrid earlier in the season.
