Liverpool vs PSV Eindhoven Preview

Liverpool host PSV Eindhoven at Anfield on Wednesday, November 26th for a Champions League league phase encounter between two sides showing contrasting recent form. The Reds enter this fixture having suffered a 3-0 at home to Nottingham Forest in their most recent match. Prior to that setback, they lost 3-0 away to Manchester City, while earlier they won 1-0 at home to Real Madrid in Champions League action. Before that, they beat Aston Villa 2-0 at home. They also lost 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup, giving them two wins and three losses across their last five fixtures, representing a worrying decline in form.

PSV Eindhoven arrive at Anfield in excellent form, having won their most recent match 1-0 away at NAC Breda. In their previous outing, they thrashed AZ Alkmaar 5-1 away, while earlier they drew 1-1 away at Olympiacos in Champions League competition. Before that, they won 5-2 at home to Fortuna Sittard. They also won 3-2 away at Feyenoord Rotterdam, giving them four wins and one draw across their last five matches, demonstrating remarkable attacking prowess and consistency.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Liverpool, with four wins and one PSV Eindhoven victory from their last five meetings. Most recently, PSV Eindhoven won 3-2 at home in January 2025, while Liverpool secured a 3-0 away victory in April 2007. Liverpool also won 3-1 at home in October 2008 and 1-0 at home in April 2007.

Liverpool are expected to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation with Robertson, Gakpo, Dijk, Allister, Becker, Jones, Isak, Konaté, Gravenberch, Salah, and Szoboszlai forming their starting eleven. However, they face personnel challenges with three players unavailable – Florian Wirtz, Conor Bradley, and Stefan Bajcetic are all ruled out through injury, weakening their squad depth across multiple positions.

PSV Eindhoven will counter with a 4-2-3-1 setup featuring Dest, Man, Júnior, Schouten, Til, Saibari, Kovár, Veerman, Gasiorowski, Perisic, and Salah-Eddine. Peter Bosz also faces injury concerns with two players out – Alassane Pléa and Ruben van Bommel are both unavailable, though they retain stronger overall squad availability compared to their hosts.

Liverpool face marginally more challenging circumstances with three players sidelined, affecting their squad depth across multiple areas. PSV Eindhoven’s two absences also impact key positions, though both sides retain sufficient quality despite the injury challenges heading into this European encounter.
