<p>A mouth-watering European clash is on the cards as Premier League leaders Liverpool lock horns against Ligue 1 champions PSG in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 fixture on Wednesday in the French capital. Both the Reds and Les Parisiens have a 13-point lead at the top of their respective leagues and are runaway favourites to win the titles.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to reporters, the Dutch defender said: "It will be a very good game, I expect over there, against a team in form. I think they played very well in their last Champions League game against Brest.</p><p>"It will be difficult but these are the games you want to compete in and I am really looking forward to it. Before that we've had some time with our family, a chance to spend some time with the kids and reflect on the last couple of weeks and then we look ahead to what is coming."</p>

WHAT VIRGIL VAN DIJK SAID

<p>Van Dijk added: "Yes, of course, it feels like [the Champions League] goes up a level now. We are in the knockout stages and there is no time for errors or bad games, basically. There are two games to get through and we want to be so good that we deserve to go through. </p><p>"But you have to fight for it, you have to do everything in your power to win the game. That is what we are going to try and do, but we are definitely aware of them. We will be aware of them in Paris and then obviously back here [to Anfield]. These are the nights that you want to perform in and you want to show the whole world."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After their trip to Paris in the midweek, the Merseyside club will be back in action in the Premier League on Saturday as they host Southampton at Anfield. </p>
