Arne Slot is set to make a U-turn on transfer plans after Liverpool's defeat against PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds headed to the Netherlands knowing that a top-two finish in the first phase of this season's Champions League was already secured.

Liverpool's perfect Champions League record was ended with defeat to PSV, but a much-changed XI still gave manager Arne Slot plenty to ponder ahead of the transfer deadline

Arne Slot says he was so impressed by James McConnell in Liverpool ’s defeat at PSV in the Champions League that he will now not be leaving on loan. The Reds suffered their first defeat in Europe this season as they were beaten 3-2 by the Dutch club, with all five goals coming in the first-half.

United States men's national team striker Ricardo Pepi continues his scoring tear with a goal against Liverpool in the Champions League to give PSV the win. Savinho has given Manchester City life in the Champions League. His goal gives Man City a two-goal cushion over Brugge.

And so we come to the final week of the Champions League’s new league phase. Never before has European football known 36 teams jostling for position in its biggest competition and by tomorrow, it will be time to part with 12 of them once and for all.
