This is the game to watch on Tuesday, as Liverpool, Napoli, and PSG are still fighting it out for a spot in the next round. As the way things stand, Liverpool will exit the competition as they sit in third, but a 1-0 triumph or a win by two clear goals would see them make the round of 16.
The permutations
#UCL Group C:
— Goal (@goal) December 11, 2018
Napoli: Through with a draw/if they & PSG lose
PSG: Through if they win/LFC don't
Liverpool: Must win 1-0/by two goals if PSG win. If they, PSG & Nap finish on nine points, #LFC through
Red Star: Third if they win & LFC lose, but LFC have better H2H pic.twitter.com/gcDAHp342A
As for Ancelotti's side, a win or a draw would suffice. Should they lose and PSG draw, all three teams would be tied on nine points, with Liverpool going through and the result at Anfield deciding who will join them. Winning at the Reds' iconic stadium will be a difficult task, but it's one Napoli must tackle, with Mertens taking aim at the Merseyside giant's home fortress.

Absolutely savage!

PSG will look to secure progression in this game. A win would suffice, but the result would not matter if Liverpool loses to Napoli. Defeat in Serbia accompanied by a win for Klopp's side will send Les Parisiens packing but they are tipped to make the knockout stage after impressing in their last game.

For Barcelona, there is not a lot at stake. They have already won the group and a spot in the round of 16. A win over Tottenham would be an excellent way to end the group stage, but they will face a Premier League side that must win under any circumstance.
Pochettino's men are tied on points with Inter Milan but are ahead of head-to-head away goals. The north London side must earn more or the same number of points as the Italians on the final Matchday but will make a tricky trip to Camp Nou. The Premier League side could be in for a huge boost, as both Suarez and Messi might not feature but that alone won't be enough to earn a triumph.

While Tottenham faces a tough test away to Barcelona in their final game, Inter Milan will host the already eliminated PSV. Nonetheless, the must earn more points than their English rival in order to progress. This means a win alone might not be enough, as Harry and Co. will need to slip up in Catalonia for the Nerrazzuri to make it through.
