Liverpool are hoping that their dismal run of form will come to a close when they visit Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Reds have now lost four on the bounce in all competitions after Manchester United escaped Anfield with a 2–1 victory on Sunday. Cody Gakpo eventually restored parity for the hosts after Bryan Mbeumo’s early opener, but Harry Maguire then struck with a pinpoint header to inflict more misery upon the Premier League champions.
Another defeat would dent their hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 of this competition automatically, with Galatasaray beating Liverpool 1–0 in Gameweek 2 of the league phase. Last season, the Reds were dominant at this stage, but they’re going to have to work incredibly hard for points this time around.
Fortunately, they’re facing up against a porous Frankfurt team that have conceded the most goals in the Bundesliga through seven games. However, they’re also the division’s top scorers, so Wednesday’s duel has the makings of a goal-fest.
After starting the league phase with an emphatic victory over Gala, Dino Toppmöller’s side succumbed to a beatdown at the hands of Atlético Madrid last time out.
Here is guide to the clash.
