Head-to-head:
- Both teams have never faced each other in the UEFA Champions League.
- Liverpool are on a four-match losing streak.
- Eintracht Frankfurt haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last nine matches.

- Frankfurt in the Champions League: W-L
- Frankfurt in all competitions: L-W-L-L-D
- Liverpool in the Champions League: W-L
- Liverpool in all competitions: W-L-L-L-L
Team News:
- Eintracht Frankfurt will miss out on the services of Elias Baum as he is injured.
- Alisson Becker, Giovanni Leoni and Stefan Bajcetic are injured, hence keeping them out of action for Liverpool. Wataru Endo might also miss out due to a lack of fitness.
Player(s) to watch:
- Jonathan Burkardt will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the English giants. Jonathan Burkardt has scored two goals in two UEFA Champions League matches this season. He is a capable forward who is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
- Hugo Ekitike is going to play an important role in the attacking front for Liverpool. After some poor performances from Alexander Isak, Ekitike is likely to start in the upcoming fixture. The young Frenchman has done well for the Reds in the initial Premier League games and will now be looking to do the same in the UCL.
