Eintracht Frankfurt may prove the perfect tonic for a Liverpool team that have lost four games on the bounce on either side of the October international break.
Such a slump certainly wasn’t foreseen when the Reds were beaten for the first time this season at Crystal Palace last month. Their 2–1 defeat to Manchester United at the weekend undoubtedly hurt the most, but the quick turnaround means Arne Slot’s side have the chance to stop the rot and recoup some momentum in midweek.
Their productive start to the campaign means they’re merely an uptick in form away from moving up alongside Arsenal at the Premier League summit again, and a standout performance in Germany will have many regarding the Slot’s men as potential European conquerors.
Liverpool should be encouraged by Frankfurt’s dire defensive record, but a vulnerable Reds structure will be tested by the home side’s verticality, directness and final third efficiency.
Here’s how Slot could set his team up in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
