Most recent H2Hs: A first meeting in 17 years
This is the first time since 2008 that Liverpool and PSV have met which adds an extra layer of intrigue to the fixture as these squads aren't familiar with each other. Liverpool's overall record against PSV is excellent, with five wins from six matches. PSV have never beaten Liverpool before so will be hoping to break their duck on Wednesday.
PSV preview: Nearly reached their target
At the start of the season, PSV wouldn't have had any delusions about finishing in the top eight in the Champions League league and would have targetted a place in the play-off round instead. They now just need one point from their final match to achieve this and they can then look forward to more elite European football in February.
Predicted lineup: Benitez (GK), Ledezma, Obispo, Boscagli, Mauro Jr, Til, Veerman, Schouten, De Jong, Lang, Bakayoko

Liverpool can be the first team to record eight wins from eight matches in the Champions League league phase if they win on Wednesday and it would be a fitting way to round of the first half of the season.

Player to watch: Darwin Nunez
After starting the match on the bench at the weekend, Darwin Nunez is expected to start the match on Wednesday night and time could be running out on his time at Liverpool so he will want to make the most of every remaining start he gets for the rest of the season. Can he repeat his Brentford heroics to lead Liverpool to eight wins from eight in the Champions League?
