PSG have been DENIED a request in a major boost to Liverpool.
The two heavyweights go head-to-head in the Champions League as the competition enters the quarter-final stage.
The French giants – who won the competition last season – have eyes on back to back successes, but Arne Slot and Co will be out for revenge.
The Reds suffered a penalty shootout heartbreak in the last 16 of the tournament last term, as they two big hitters go to battle again.
However, Liverpool are set to land a huge boost with PSG facing a potential title decider with Lens in the middle of their two-legged showdown.
They were granted permission to postpone a league meeting with Nantes, which gave them plenty rest between their last 16 clashes with Chelsea.
But, the showdown with Lens in Ligue 1 is expected to be played as planned.
Lens boss Peter Sage said: “It’s too late since the match is already scheduled, whereas the Nantes match wasn’t.
“I think PSG doesn’t need that to be competitive against us.”
In recent years, postponements designed to help French clubs have become standard practice.

But they will welcome Liverpool just three days before facing Lens and then making the journey to Anfield on April 14.
Slot told TNT Sports: “Last season against PSG we were completely outplayed away from home, we played a great game at Anfield but lost on penalties.
“To be fair, they haven’t dropped their standards.
“It was hardly possible for them to improve but they’ve been very impressive until now.
“I don’t think they will be that happy to play for us after seeing our performance tonight, and last season we were the only team who took them to extra-time and penalties.”
