Eintracht Frankfurt have conceded 18 goals in their last five matches
Liverpool have lost their last four matches in all competitions
Recommended bet: Cody Gakpo to score anytime
Liverpool boss Arne Slot needs to rally the troops for Wednesday's Champions League clash at Eintracht Frankfurt as the Reds look to arrest an alarming run of four straight defeats.
Both teams have played the same opponents in Europe so far this season, with Liverpool beating Atletico Madrid 3-2 before losing 1-0 in Istanbul to Galatasaray, while Frankfurt beat the Turkish side 5-1 before losing to Atleti by the same scoreline.
Team news
Frankfurt are without Oscar Hojlund, who is struggling with a thigh injury, but otherwise the hosts should be at full strength.
Liverpool are still without goalkeeper Alisson, so Giorgi Mamardashvili will continue to deputise. Ryan Gravenberch is a major doubt after picking up an ankle injury in Sunday's defeat to Manchester United and Alexis MacAllister will also be checked after suffering a knock at the weekend.
Hugo Ekitike could be given the chance to start up front against his former club and out-of-form Mohamed Salah could be dropped.
The stats
Both teams have scored in eight of Eintracht Frankfurt’s last nine matches.
Eintracht’s 10 games this season have produced a total of 54 goals.
Liverpool have failed to score in just one of their 12 matches this season.
Eleven of Frankfurt’s last 12 games have produced four or more goals.
Liverpool have won 13 of their last 15 Champions League non-knockout matches.

Prediction
It is perhaps a bit early to talk about a crisis at Liverpool, but four straight defeats was not anticipated when the Reds were top of the Premier League last month and there is little doubt that Slot’s team need to produce the goods at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Single league-stage matches in the Champions League are not as vital as they were in the old four-team-group format, but for morale purposes a strong performance and victory in Germany would give everyone at the club a huge lift.
It could be that they are playing Eintracht Frankfurt at the right time as the Bundesliga outfit have conceded a whopping 18 goals in their last five matches.
This looks set to be another goal feast and there is a strong chance Cody Gakpo can step up to the plate, particularly as the usually dependable Salah has failed to shine lately.
The Dutch forward has scored in his last two league games against Chelsea and Manchester United and after having 11 shots in his last four club matches, he can take advantage of the fact he is playing against a shaky rearguard.
