LIVERPOOL, England :Liverpool host PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday hoping Europe can provide relief from a domestic nightmare for the Premier League champions that boss Arne Slot called "ridiculous."

Liverpool have lost eight of their last 11 matches in all competitions, including a bruising 3-0 defeat by lowly Nottingham Forest at the weekend that left them languishing 12th in the top flight and piled pressure on their Dutch manager.

"It is ridiculous. It is unbelievable," Slot said of his team's worrying form. "I have said many times you will never find enough excuses for us to perform like this. It's unexpected for the club, for me, for everyone.

"But this is maybe the best club to face it, the harder it gets at this club, the more we are together."
