Dominik Szoboszlai Over 0.5 Shots on Target (7/5 with BetMGM)
Szoboszlai found the net in the 4-1 win over Ipswich on Saturday and has been letting off an increased amount of shots in recent weeks. Across his last six starts for Liverpool, he recorded 21 shots, five of which hit the target. With this in mind, the 7/5 that is available with MGM looks generous.
Liverpool to Win and Both Teams to Score (13/5 with Sky Bet)
Arne Slot’s side may have already secured their place in the competition’s knockout stage, but the Dutchman will want the Reds to maintain their 100% record in the competition. Liverpool have won each of their last five meetings with PSV in the UEFA Champions League, only beating Porto (6) more often in the competition.
PSV are already guaranteed a spot in the playoffs and with them also not needing to win, this could be a high-scoring open game in which Liverpool show their class. PSV have scored in every home competitive match this season.

How both teams go into PSV vs Liverpool
For all their domestic dominance, it’s been an inconsistent European campaign for PSV so far. The Dutch champions went winless in their first three matches. Since then things have picked up and they have won three of their last four, with victories coming against Girona, Shakhtar and Red Star Belgrade.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have cruised through the Champions League so far, sitting top of the table with maximum points and just two goals conceded in seven games. The Reds have seen off the likes of Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan with relative ease and can make it a perfect eight from eight on Wednesday.
PSV team news
The likes of Sergino Dest and Rick Karsdorp should be back in action for this match. Ricardo Pepi is banging on the door for starts with 15 goals in just 937 senior minutes across all competitions, putting Luuk de Jong right under pressure. He’ll be desperate to get a run at Liverpool.
Liverpool team news
Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota are out for the visitors. Curtis Jones was forced off at half-time against Lille last week and is unlikely to feature here.
PSV vs Liverpool head-to-head
All six previous meetings between these sides came between 2006 and 2008, with Liverpool winning the last five after a 0-0 draw in the first. PSV have only managed two goals across those six meetings.
