Liverpool Form
PSV Form
Liverpool host PSV at Anfield on 26 November in a Champions League showdown that suddenly feels a lot less predictable than it would’ve been a year ago. So, a Liverpool vs PSV prediction isn’t as straight-forward as backing the Premier League side by default. You’ve got one team struggling to find rhythm and another flying domestically but still working out their European identity. It sets things up nicely for a tense night under the lights and a match where both sides desperately need a result.
Liverpool come into this one with the pressure rising. Arne Slot’s second season hasn’t had the same smooth flow as his debut campaign. With five defeats in their first eleven league matches, you can feel the nerves creeping in. The Champions League has offered a bit of calm, with Liverpool sitting eighth in the league phase — just inside the automatic qualification bracket — but even that spot feels fragile.
Team-news wise, Slot may have to go without several key summer signings. Jeremie Frimpong is still not fit, and the manager has hinted that Alexander Isak is still working toward the physical level the staff expect, even though he’s available. Florian Wirtz also hasn’t really settled, and there’s no guarantee he starts.
PSV boss Peter Bosz also has problems to manage, though his side sits top of the Eredivisie with only one defeat in twelve games. Ruben van Bommel (cruciate) and Alassane Plea (knee) remain long-term absentees and won’t feature until the new year, but otherwise PSV travel with a full squad.
Considering PSV are 18th in the Champions League standings and flirting with falling out of the play-off spots, this feels like a must-fight fixture for them. Their 6–0 win over Napoli earlier in the competition shows what they’re capable of when things click.

If you’re weighing up this one, you’re probably looking at a match that brings goals rather than control. Liverpool’s defensive issues this season make it hard to picture a clean sheet, while PSV’s confidence in domestic play suggests they’ll come to Anfield believing they can cause problems in transition.
Here’s what stands out:
1. Both Teams to Score
Liverpool haven’t looked comfortable, and PSV’s best spells usually come when they counter with pace. You’d expect both teams to create enough to get on the scoreboard.
2. Liverpool to Win & Over 2.5 Goals
Anfield tends to lift Liverpool, especially in Europe. Even when they wobble early, the crowd usually drags them through. A high-scoring home win looks realistic.
3. Dominik Szoboszlai Anytime Scorer
Szoboszlai has been one of the few Liverpool players regularly trying to spark the team into life. When the game gets messy, he’s often the one taking responsibility.
Liverpool’s league form doesn’t inspire confidence, but the Champions League has been a different story. They’re eighth in the standings and showing enough character on big nights to stay competitive. PSV, meanwhile, are fantastic domestically but inconsistent in Europe, aside from that huge win over Napoli.
With both sides pushing for points, this should be frantic. Liverpool’s attacking quality at home feels like the difference-maker, but PSV have enough about them to land a punch.
