Liverpool manager Arne Slot certainly knows Wednesday night’s opponent, PSV Eindhoven, very well. Before taking ther gig at Anfield to begin the 2024-25 season, Slot lead Feyenoord for three seasons, where he was one of the best managers in that club’s history. During his final season in his native Netherlands, Slot led them to a runner-up finish in the Eredivisie.
The champions that season were PSV, so maybe there is some added motivation here.
