Troubled Liverpool’s miserable season spiralled further into turmoil as PSV Eindhoven swept to a stunning 4-1 win at Anfield in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Liverpool's downward spiral continued on Wednesday, as the Reds suffered their ninth defeat in nine games and were beaten 4-1 at Anfield by Dutch champions PSV in the UEFA Champions League.

Liverpool’s painful 4-1 home defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League was the latest setback to suggest that the Reds may soon need to prepare for a future without three key players, says a club legend.

Premier League leaders Arsenal visit second-placed Chelsea on Sunday looking to tighten their grip on top spot but hours earlier across town all eyes will be on reigning champions Liverpool as they seek to emerge from a nightmare run.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot says that his side's form is a "shock for everyone" after losing 4-1 at home to PSV Eindhoven - a ninth defeat in their past 12 matches.

Liverpool entered the clash having lost eight of their previous 11 fixtures and off the back of humiliation at the hands of Nottingham Forest over the weekend—they once again found themselves trailing early as Ivan Perišić scored from the penalty spot after Virgil van Dijk’s handball.

As expected, Forest are defending deep, trying to absorb Liverpool’s pressure. Liverpool are pushing to break the deadlock, so far to no avail. Alexis Mac Allister is denied when he connects with a pass from Cody Gakpo. Liverpool earn the corner, but nothing comes from it.

Things have gone very, very wrong at Liverpool. After a 4–1 loss at home to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, the men's team is facing its worst slump for more than 70 years: nine losses in their last 12 games.

Liverpool have lost back-to-back league matches by a margin of three or more goals for the first time since April 1965 under Bill Shankly.

Liverpool have already allowed an xG of over 2.0 three times this season after doing it just five times all last season
