Liverpool vs PSV Prediction, Lineups, Injuries, and Team News

Anfield is ready to witness another historical European night as the Reds are ready to take on PSV in a league phase clash on matchday 5 of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League on 26th November, 2025. The two teams have had very contrasting starts to the season so far, with Liverpool staying in the top 8 of the UCL table but finding themselves in big trouble, being 12th in the Premier League. PSV are at the top of their domestic league but have faltered at the European stage as they are positioned 18th as of now. With a place in the top eight up for grabs, the two teams will take the field with all to play for. Ahead of the match, let's take a look at Liverpool vs PSV prediction.

Liverpool vs PSV Preview

The hosts, Liverpool FC, are eighth in the UCL table after four games, with three wins and one defeat. They started their UCL campaign with a narrow 3-2 win against Atletico Madrid, where their captain, Virgil Van Dijk, emerged to be the hero of the night with his last-minute goals. However, the Reds faced a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Galatasaray on the second matchday. They bounced back immediately with a ruthless performance against Eintracht Frankfurt as they put five past the German club, that too at their own home. Liverpool FC built on their dominating performance in Frankfurt with a scintillating display against the European giants, Real Madrid, where the Los Blancos were totally helpless on a crucial UCL night. Although they dominated, they could manage to score only one goal, thanks to the heroics of Thibaut Courtois. A total of 9 goals have been scored by the Reds while letting in four in return so far. Their defense has been a thing of concern lately, with their consecutive 3-goal defeat in the Premier League coming against Nottingham Forest after Manchester City last time around. Arne Slot and co. are lurking in the 12th position in the Premier League now, and their confidence is at an all-time low. Salah has been a shadow of his former self, and Isak is yet to hit the ground running for his new team. Wirtz is still getting accustomed to the intensity of the English league, while the defense has continued to ship goals like it's a free treat. The head-to-head record would give them some confidence going into this game; otherwise, this could turn out to be a tough night at Anfield for the reigning English champions.

Meanwhile, PSV are placed 18th in the Champions League table with just one win, two draws, and one defeat out of the four games played. They started with a surprise loss against Union Saint-Gilloise, followed by a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen on matchday 2. The Boeren bounced back with a thumping 6-2 win against Napoli, which remains their only victory in the league phase so far. PSV Eindhoven's last match in the UCL was against Olympiacos, which also resulted in a 1-1 stalemate. They have managed to find the back of the net nine times, but have conceded seven at the same time. The Dutch club needs to sort out their defensive issues as Liverpool are quite ruthless in front of the goal; however, that hasn't been the case lately. They are going strong in their domestic league with 11 wins in 13 games and are at the top of the table. PSV are unbeaten in their last eleven games across all competitions and will be looking to hit Arne Slot's men at a time when nothing seems to be going their way. They have won just one out of their last 14 outings against English opposition and will want to better that record this time around.
