Liverpool will take on Frankfurt in the Champions League this week, with the Reds looking to end their current four-match losing streak.
Arne Slot is under pressure for the first time since he became Liverpool manager in 2024, but a win on Wednesday night could go a long way to relieving some of that.
Frankfurt have made a decent start to the season in Germany, but after losing 5-1 to Atletico Madrid last time out in the Champions League, they are in need of a response.

Frankfurt preview: A healthy squad
Frankfurt are in good nick coming into this match, with their only injury concern being teenage defender, Elias Braum. As a result, they will give this match a proper go, and a lot could rest on how Can Uzun and Jonathan Burkadt exploit the space behind the Liverpool back line.
Predicted lineup: Santos (GK), Kristensen, Koch, Theate, Brown, Skhiri, Larsson, Doan, Uzun, Bahoya, Burkardt

Liverpool preview: Problems in forward areas
Trying to find room for all of his big-money signings is proving to be a difficult task for Arne Slot. Former Frankfurt man, Hugo Ekitike, is expected to come back into the starting XI here, as is Florian Wirtz, who will perhaps be more comfortable against Bundesliga opposition. Alisson remains unavailable through injury.
Predicted lineup: Mamardashvili (GK), Bradley, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Szoboszlai, Frimpong, Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike
Last five results
- Liverpool 1-2 Man Utd

Player to watch: Hugo Ekitike
After spending north of £400m in the summer, the only summer recruit at Liverpool who is living up to the billing so far is Hugo Ekitike. The forward, who will be looking forward to playing against his former employers, has scored four goals and provided one assist in all competitions so far for the Reds.
