Liverpool head to Germany desperately seeking a turnaround after four straight defeats, including a painful home loss to Manchester United. Arne Slot is facing mounting pressure, and Wednesday’s Champions League tie against Eintracht Frankfurt could prove decisive. A fifth successive loss would represent the club’s worst run since 1953, making this a must-win encounter.
Changes are expected in the lineup. Florian Wirtz, one of the few recent positives, is likely to retain his place in the central attacking role. Hugo Ekitike may lead the line, with Alexander Isak potentially dropping to the bench after struggling for form.
With Ryan Gravenberch sidelined through injury, Curtis Jones is set to step in alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, who could replace the out-of-form Alexis Mac Allister. In defense, Joe Gomez is pushing to partner Virgil van Dijk, while Jeremie Frimpong and Andy Robertson are expected to start at full-back. Giorgi Mamardashvili continues in goal, covering for the injured Alisson Becker.
Liverpool are expected to set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, designed to bring greater balance between attack and defense—something they have sorely lacked in recent weeks. With confidence low and results faltering, Slot will view this trip to Frankfurt as an opportunity to reset. A strong display could not only keep Liverpool’s Champions League hopes alive but also help restore belief in a team still searching for rhythm this season.
