Liverpool will be hoping to avoid a second successive cup disaster on Wednesday as it heads to the Parc des Princes. It faces a Paris Saint-Germain team looking to eliminate a second English team from this season's UEFA Champions League. 

Arne Slot's job as Liverpool boss is looking increasingly precarious after Saturday's 4-0 FA Cup quarterfinal thrashing at the hands of Manchester City. It's the team's 15th defeat across all competitions this term -- with that result leaving this tournament as the Reds' last chance of winning this season. 

PSG may feel confident coming into this clash having eased past Premier League Chelsea in the previous round. Luis Enrique's crew enters this game having opened up a four-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 following Friday's comfortable 3-1 win over Toulouse. 

PSG vs. Liverpool will be at the Parc des Princes in Paris on Wednesday, April 8. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CEST local time in Spain, making it an 8 p.m. BST kickoff in the UK, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Thursday.

How to watch UEFA Champions League games with a VPN

If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with Premier League action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.

It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. 

However, some streaming services may have policies that restrict VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.

If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verify whether your streaming subscription allows VPN use.
