Liverpool head to Germany tonight to face Eintracht Frankfurt hoping for a morale-boosting win.
The Premier League champions have lost four successive games in all competitions, the latest of which saw arch-rivals Manchester United leave Anfield with a 2-1 win on Sunday.
Arne Slot’s men have looked disjointed for much of the season and the Dutchman will be hoping his revamped side can click this evening.
Eintracht drew 2-2 with Freiburg at the weekend and sit seventh in the Bundesliga.
They have been a model of inconsistency in the Champions League so far, with a 5-1 win against Galatasaray followed up by a 5-1 hammering at Atletico Madrid.
Expect goals tonight. Eintracht’s 10 games in all competitions this season have reaped 54 goals.
