Liverpool v PSV: Confirmed line-ups as Reds drop Isak
Liverpool host PSV in the Champions League tonight. Get the team news here...
Liverpool must bounce back from their 3-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest at the weekend if Arne Slot is to ease the pressure that is slowly building around him.
The Reds have struggled domestically this season, but remain a tough opponent in Europe. They are fresh off a win against Real Madrid last time out, and Slot will be relishing the opportunity to face an old Dutch side.
With Alexander Isak continuing to gain fitness, the head coach may turn to some more trusted faces for this clash, and he will be secretly hoping that Mohamed Salah can recapture his best form.
You can get all the team news below ahead of tonight’s clash at Anfield.
