Liverpool return from the international break facing a compact run of fixtures after a chastening defeat at Manchester City. The Reds produced a limp first-half showing in possession and \u201cgave themselves far too much to do after the restart.\u201d City were able to capitalise on Arsenal\u2019s first slip-up since September, and Liverpool now sit eighth and eight points behind the leaders.<\/p>\n
Manager Arne Slot named an unchanged side on Sunday and will have the final club break of 2025 to reflect before a testing sequence begins. The schedule resumes at Anfield on Saturday, Nov. 22, when Nottingham Forest visit at 3 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET, 7 a.m. PT). Nottingham Forest are now led by former Everton boss Sean Dyche. Dyche\u2019s side beat Leeds United 3\u20131 but remain 19th in the table with nine points from 11 games. Forest are also the only team to have beaten Liverpool at Anfield during the Reds\u2019 second Premier League title-winning season.<\/p>\n
Four days later Liverpool are back in Champions League action at Anfield, hosting PSV Eindhoven on Nov. 26. PSV edged a heavily rotated Liverpool 3\u20132 in the final gameweek of last season\u2019s league phase. This season Peter Bosz\u2019s PSV registered a 6\u20132 win over Napoli, then were beaten by Olympiacos in Gameweek 4, although Ricardo Pepi rescued a point late on.<\/p>\n
The Premier League run continues with a trip to West Ham on Nov. 30 followed by Sunderland at home on Dec. 3. The post-break block is non-stop and offers Slot and his squad immediate opportunities to stabilise form and address the shortcomings exposed by Manchester City. Results across the next fixtures will determine whether Liverpool can close the gap or fall further behind the early pacesetters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
