Recent form

Frankfurt are without a win in their last three, losing two and then drawing with Freiburg on Sunday. They were thrashed 5-1 by Atletico Madrid in their last Champions League game.

As mentioned, Liverpool have lost the last four in all competitions, the most recent defeat coming against Manchester United on Sunday.

What’s been said?

Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmoller on his familiarity with the Liverpool squad: “There are several I trained. Szoboszlai, Konate, and also for sure Ekitike. Gravenberch at Bayern as well. But for sure, with Ekitike he was my player for one and a half years and my main striker.

“So it’s very nice to see how he fits perfectly in the squad of Liverpool. He has already scored his goals, and he already has a big impact on the game for them, and I expect him to start tomorrow. We are looking forward to seeing him but hopefully at the end of the game we will be the winners.”

Slot on Liverpool’s poor form: “Do we lose confidence? I cannot see it yet, because every single game we’ve lost, we were able to create in the second half an unbelievable amount of chances.

“If you look back at all the three games we’ve lost in the Premier League, if you just put all the highlights [next to] each other, you would say it’s hardly possible that they lose this game. So if we can keep producing what we are doing and do a few things a little bit better, then there is every reason to expect that we start to win football games again.

“But I cannot promise you that on Wednesday evening we are again able to create eight, nine or 10 open chances. I hope so, and with the players we have then it will lead in the end to us scoring more goals.”
