See the best facts and figures to know ahead of Wednesday's clash at Philips Stadium below...

Liverpool have won each of their last five meetings with PSV in the Champions League, only beating FC Porto (six) more often in the competition.

The last clash saw the Reds win 3-1 in Eindhoven in December 2008 in the Champions League group phase, coming from behind to gain the victory.

Overall, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 17 fixtures against Dutch opponents, with 12 wins and five draws.

The Reds have won 12 of their last 15 away games in the Champions League, boasting the best win rate on the road in the competition since the 2021-22 campaign (85 per cent).

Arne Slot's men are one of only two sides with a 100 per cent away record in this season's edition, along with Atalanta.

Slot is looking to become the fourth boss to win his first four away matches with a club in the competition, after Claudio Ranieri with Chelsea in 2003-04, Pep Guardiola with Bayern Munich in 2013-14 and Hansi Flick with Bayern Munich in 2019-20 to 2020-21.

The Reds could record their best ever sequence of eight wins in a row in the Champions League era.

Cody Gakpo played 159 games for PSV in all competitions, scoring 55 times, before he joined Liverpool in January 2023.

Slot has faced PSV as a coach on nine previous occasions (the first with AZ Alkmaar and the rest with Feyenoord), and has an equal amount of wins, draws and defeats (three each).

PSV have played 30 matches this season in all competitions and have scored 95 goals in total.

They have won three, drawn two and lost two so far in the league phase this term, most recently winning 3-2 at Red Star Belgrade.

PSV are unbeaten in each of their last 11 home games in major European competition (won six, drawn five) since a 2-1 loss to Leicester City in April 2022 in the UEFA Conference League.

A Super Cup defeat by Feyenoord on penalties in August is their only loss in the last 55 matches played at Philips Stadium, a run dating back to November 2022.
