Liverpool will play against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. Sloterdijk will rest some players.


The "Red Army" Liverpool will travel to challenge PSV Eindhoven of the Dutch Eredivisie in the 8th round of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League. Coach Slot said that some main players will not participate in this game, but the team will also aim to win.


With goals from Salah and Elliott, Liverpool beat Lille 2-1 at Anfield in the last round of the Champions League. After seven consecutive wins, Liverpool is currently ranked first in the standings with 21 points and has successfully advanced to the round of 16. In addition, PSV Eindhoven is currently ranked 19th and only needs to remain unbeaten in this game to enter the play-off stage.


Liverpool manager Slot said at a press conference, “I think we have participated in many games like all the teams in the European arena, but these players who have been left behind are actually capable of participating in tomorrow's game. Looking back at our season, we have almost let these players rest every 3 to 5 weeks during the League Cup or FA Cup. As long as there is a chance for them to recover their physical strength, we will do so. "


"It took me some time to figure out the new Champions League format. When I am 100% sure, I will only say 99.99%, but now I can be 100% sure that we will advance as the first or second place. It has no effect at all. Because we will draw between 16th and 18th place to play against one of the teams. In the end, it is the draw that determines who our opponent is."


In addition, Sloter also said, "But a wise man once told me that he has never seen any benefit from losing any game. Therefore, we will never go into battle with a losing mentality tomorrow, and of course we will try our best to win."
