Liverpool <\/a>go into Gameweek 3 of the Champions League<\/a> sat 17th in the standings, after one win and one defeat in their opening two matches.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They now travel to Germany on Wednesday (20:00 kick-off – live on TNT Sports 1) to face an Eintracht Frankfurt side who are also on three points after their first two games in Europe\u2019s top club competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Frankfurt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1):<\/strong> Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Gakpo, Wirtz, Salah; Ekitike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reds have lost their last four in all competitions, with Arne Slot searching for the solution for what has been a concerning dip in form for the Premier League champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last time Liverpool lost four matches in a row was back in November 2014, under Brendan Rodgers, and all eyes are on Slot to find an answer to this current slump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool team news vs Frankfurt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arne Slot has said Alisson Becker might be back in action before the end of October, but Wednesday\u2019s match will come too soon for the Brazilian shot-stopper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means Giorgi Mamardashvili will continue between the posts and he\u2019s likely to have a changed back-four in front of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Bundesliga star Jeremie Frimpong could be given a start in Frankfurt, while Andy Robertson is another possible addition at left-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Gravenberch is a doubt after suffering an injury in the second half of the defeat to Manchester United and the Dutchman is expected to sit out the Game Week 3 clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gravenberch\u2019s likely absence could see Florian Wirtz handed a start in his homeland, as he seeks his first goal in a Liverpool shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There could also be a change up front, with Alexander Isak still short of match fitness and Hugo Ekitike looking set to face his former club.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Ekitike has a point to prove<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    After bringing in five big names in the close season, Ekitike is the only new face to have had an impact at Anfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some pundits have expressed a concern over the impact of Isak\u2019s arrival on the Frenchman, who has scored three goals in seven appearances since moving from Frankfurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ekitike got less than half-an-hour against Manchester United, but looked lively and offered something different when he entered the fray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 23-year-old will feel like he has a point to prove to Slot and what better venue to do that than the Waldstadion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ekitike scored 19 goals in 47 appearances for Frankfurt and played a big role in helping Dino Toppmoller\u2019s men qualify for this season\u2019s Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n
