Liverpool XI vs PSV: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Champions League today | OneFootball

Reds must rediscover some form against Arne Slot’s former side

Arne Slot will tonight again tinker with his team as Liverpool welcome PSV to Anfield in an increasingly important Champions League test.

Florian Wirtz will again miss out after being unable to join his team-mate in opening training on Tuesday afternoon,

The £116million signing was sidelined for the 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest at the weekend with a knock, and Slot said ahead of the weekend that Wirtz’s absence “shouldn’t be that long."

A return against West Ham, therefore, appears likely for Wirtz, meaning Cody Gakpo is expected to continue deputising against Slot's former club.

Mohammed Salah will take up his usual place on the right flank despite his dwindling returns.

Salah has scored one goal in four Champions League games so far this season, and remains two away from a half-century of strikes in the competition.

Alexander Isak was almost anonymous against Forest. Slot said last week that Isak must continue to play to work up his fitness and, in turn, find form, but is likely to drop out of the starting line-up in favour of Hugo Ekitike.

“We can improve as a team and we will improve definitely as individuals because players will be adapted to the league much better,” Slot said. “Alex will end up being the player he was at Newcastle if we get him fit. That will take a little bit of time.”

Further back, right-backs Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley remain out so Dominik Szoboszlai could move back. Andrew Robertson is likely to replace Kerkez on the other flank.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo

Injured: Wirtz, Frimpong, Bradley, Leoni
