They'll have to be on their best behaviour.

A handful of Liverpool players will need to be extra cautious against PSG tonight, as they are just one more booking away from missing next week's crucial second leg.

Arne Slot's men travel to Paris tonight to take on the French champions in the Champions League Round of 16.

The Reds have their eyes on a potential European and domestic double this season as they currently sit top of the Premier League table.

However, their return tie in Anfield against PSG could be made all the more difficult should any of these players miss out due to suspension.

The four players that are currently one yellow card away from not being able to play next week are: Ibrahima Konaté, Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliot.

French centre-back Konaté has proven to be a stalwart alongside captain Virgil Van Dijk this season.

Liverpool topped the Champions League league-phase, conceding just five goals.

Argentina's Alexis Mac Allister has been a revelation in the middle of the park for the Reds since joining from Brighton in 2023.

The World Cup winner would be sorely missed in next week's return leg should he be booked tonight.

Left-back Andy Robertson has been a mainstay of this team for the past eight years.

The Scotsman has a wealth of experience having been part of the Liverpool side that last won a Champions League in 2019.

Harvey Elliot has become an important role player in this side, gaining more playing time last season.

The tricky midfielder has proven to be a useful player off the bench for the Reds.

Speaking ahead of tonight's fixture, Liverpool manager Slot said that his side will have to be at their best against PSG.

He said: "They are definitely one of the best teams when they have the ball, with so much attacking threat all over the pitch and so many rotations, so many players taking in different positions.

“So, in every part of our game we have to be on top and the best possible version of ourselves."
