Liverpool won five of their first six meetings with PSV in European competition (D1), but were beaten 3-2 in Eindhoven in last season’s UEFA Champions League league phase, their sole defeat in the first stage of last season’s competition.

PSV have won just one of their last 14 European away games against English opposition (D5 L8), a 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur in the 2007-08 UEFA Cup round of 16 first leg through a Jefferson Farfán goal.
