Reds out to stop the slide in Germany
By Tum Balogun
Evening all and welcome to Daily Mail Sport’s live coverage of Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool in the Champions League.
The Reds are in Germany tonight looking to stop the bleeding after a miserable run of four straight defeats, their worst sequence in more than a decade. Arne Slot’s side have slipped out of rhythm since lifting the Premier League trophy back in May, and the pressure is quietly starting to build.
It hasn’t been a smooth build-up either. Travel problems on Tuesday left the team grounded at John Lennon Airport for hours after a technical issue with their plane, forcing the club to cancel their pre-match press conference. It all felt like another sign that things just aren’t quite clicking at the moment.
Liverpool arrive here with plenty to prove. They were beaten 2-1 by Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday and have shipped late goals in three of their four defeats. The mood around the camp has been tense, with senior players urging calm and focus ahead of what already feels like a key night in their season.
Kick-off is at 8pm at Deutsche Bank Park, where Frankfurt will look to make life uncomfortable for Slot’s men under the lights. We’ll have all the team news, quotes, colour and build-up from Germany as Liverpool try to get their European campaign — and their confidence — back on track.
