Match preview
Liverpool are in dreadful form: over their last ten games, the Reds have managed just three wins—against Real Madrid (1-0) and Eintracht (5-1) in the Champions League, and over Aston Villa (2-0) in the Premier League. After 12 rounds in England, they've collected only 18 points and sit 18th in the table. The European campaign looks brighter: nine points and ninth place after four matches.
At Anfield, Liverpool are likely to aim for control: dominating possession, playing at a high tempo, involving their wide men, and building attacks through the midfield. One of their main objectives will be to score early and then manage the tempo of the game comfortably.
PSV are unbeaten in 11 consecutive matches, winning eight—one in the Champions League and seven in the Eredivisie. After 13 rounds, they top the Dutch league with 34 points, six clear of Feyenoord. In the Champions League, the Dutch side are in eighth place with five points: draws with Bayer and Olympiacos (both 1-1), a spectacular 6-2 win over Napoli, and a defeat to Royale Union (1-3).
PSV can capitalize on their attacking style and play with confidence. The Dutch side are adept at creating dangerous chances, especially in transition phases. They probably won't just sit back—instead, expect them to impose their own game and exploit counterattacks or any Liverpool mistakes.
Probable lineups
Liverpool: Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo
PSV: Kovar; Dest, Gasiorowski, Schouten, Salah-Eddine; Junior, Veerman; Man, Saibari, Perisic; Til
