Liverpool's perfect Champions League record was ended with defeat to PSV, but a much-changed XI still gave manager Arne Slot plenty to ponder ahead of the transfer deadline

Arne Slot has named his Liverpool team for their final league phase fixture of the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven. The Reds have already secured a top-two finish and been afforded the luxury of leaving nine first-team players on Merseyside.

Should Cody Gakpo start in the UEFA Champions League fixture? With Liverpool already through, Arne Slot has a big call to make.

The Reds still finished top of the table ahead of Barcelona and will play either Brest, Monaco, PSG or Benfica - with those four teams forced to take part in the play-offs - in the last-16

With the group stages finally completed, the Reds now have a month off the Champions League before the last-16 ties begin next month. And Liverpool could face a tough opponent when it returns to European action.

Liverpool are guaranteed to face one of the teams that finished in 15th, 16th, 17th or 18th in the league phase standings. Therefore, the Reds will face either Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Monaco or Brest in the Champions League knockout stage.
