Champions League Action Heats Up: PSG Faces Tottenham, Liverpool Battles PSV
The Champions League is back, and Wednesday night promises a series of thrilling encounters, with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) hosting Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool welcoming PSV Eindhoven to Anfield.
PSG vs. Tottenham: A Chance for Redemption
PSG and Tottenham will clash at Parc des Princes, reigniting memories of their recent Super Cup match where PSG emerged victorious on penalties after Tottenham surrendered a two-goal lead in the final minutes. For Tottenham, this match presents an opportunity to avenge that Super Cup defeat and prove their mettle against the reigning European champions.
However, Tottenham enters the match in a difficult situation, having suffered a heavy defeat in the North London derby against Arsenal. Manager Thomas Frank faces scrutiny after that defeat, and will be looking for a much-improved performance from his team against PSG. Tottenham will be without Brennan Johnson due to suspension. Despite their recent struggles, Tottenham may find a boost in Randal Kolo Muani being eligible to play against his parent club, PSG, due to a quirk in UEFA regulations. The confirmed lineups for the match reveal that Pedro Porro, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Pape Matar Sarr and Randal Kolo Muani all return to the starting XI.
PSG, despite being at the top of Ligue 1, also have their own concerns, having suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Bayern Munich in their previous Champions League match. They will be aiming to avoid losing consecutive home games in the Champions League. Ousmane Dembele's possible return from injury could provide a boost for the team.
Liverpool vs. PSV: Seeking Stability at Anfield
Liverpool welcomes PSV Eindhoven to Anfield, seeking a much-needed victory to restore confidence after a series of poor results in the Premier League. Arne Slot's team has suffered eight defeats in their last 11 games, including a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, leaving them in 11th place in the league.
Despite their domestic struggles, Liverpool has shown glimpses of their European form, including a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid. Liverpool will be aiming to replicate that form against PSV, who are currently leading the Eredivisie.
Liverpool faces injury concerns, with Florian Wirtz sidelined with a muscular problem and several defenders also unavailable. Alisson's return from injury is a boost for the team. PSV also has their own injury problems, with Ruben van Bommel out for the season and Alassane Plea also sidelined. Liverpool has won five of their previous seven meetings with PSV.
Match Details and Broadcast Information
Both PSG vs Tottenham and Liverpool vs PSV will kick off at 8pm GMT on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. In the UK, TNT Sports will broadcast both games.
