LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) -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.
