Liverpool will be desperate to halt their alarming slump when they travel to Germany to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Reds have endured a torrid run of form, losing four consecutive matches across all competitions — the latest a painful 2–1 home defeat to Manchester United at Anfield. Despite Cody Gakpo’s equaliser cancelling out Bryan Mbeumo’s opener, Harry Maguire’s late header sealed another setback for Jurgen Klopp’s side, who now face mounting pressure in Europe.
Having already fallen 1–0 to Galatasaray in Gameweek 2, Liverpool risk missing out on automatic qualification to the Champions League round of 16 if their struggles continue. It’s a stark contrast to last season’s dominant group-stage campaign, and they’ll need a significant turnaround to regain control of their European destiny.
Their opponents, Eintracht Frankfurt, have proven unpredictable — boasting the Bundesliga’s best attacking record but also the leakiest defence after seven games. Following a commanding opening win over Galatasaray, Dino Toppmöller’s men were humbled by Atlético Madrid in their second outing, making Wednesday’s clash a potential goal-laden showdown between two wounded sides seeking redemption.
