JAKARTA - Liverpool will travel to Germany to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2025/2026 Champions League on Thursday, October 23, 2025, early morning WIB.
The Reds came determined to end four consecutive defeats, their worst form in more than a decade.
The last time they lost four times in a row was in 2014 under the tutelage of Brendan Rodgers.
They equaled the poor record after losing 1-2 to Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday, 19 October 2025.
Despite still in third place in the Premier League, their performance has raised concerns about Arne Slot's ability to adapt and turn things around.
The Reds attack line, which spent a lot of money, only scored two goals in the four defeats.

Luckily, Liverpool will face Frankfurt who is sluggish. They are favored to return to winning ways.
In addition, the match at Frankfurt's headquarters could also be an event to restore Liverpool's scoring performance. Hugo Ekitike, for example, will try to bounce back when he returns to his old club.
After scoring 26 goals in 64 games over two seasons for Frankfurt, Ekitika now has to prove his sharpness for Liverpool - which his former club inevitably has to be victims.
Currently Frankfurt are in seventh place in the Bundesliga standings, have conceded 18 goals in the last five matches (including a crushing 1-5 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the last Champions League match) and have won only once from those five matches (one win, one draw, and three defeats).
However, they are a brilliant team in scoring goals and the fragile Liverpool defense will be tested again.
Entering the third week, Liverpool are ranked 17th in the Champions League group stage standings, while Frankfurt are on the 15th stairs.
Which of the two teams will rediscover their performance will be the winner.
When it comes to statistics, Liverpool have only met Frankfurt twice. The Reds won 2-0 at Anfield and drew 0-0 in the away match in the first round of the 1972/1973 edition of the UEFA Cup (EUPA League).
Liverpool are also unbeaten in their last 14 matches in Europe against Germany's teams (11 wins and three draws).
Their last defeat was when they traveled to Leverkusen with a score of 2-4 in the quarter-finals of the 2001/2002 Champions League.
Liverpool currently have a record 13 wins and two defeats in the last 15 matches in the Champions League group stage.
Additional motivation for the rise of the Reds was the presence of Mohamed Salah who was eyeing two Lai goals to become the first African to score 50 goals in the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Frankfurt managed to pack five wins and one draw from the last six home games in European tournaments.
In fact, another interesting fact, Frankfurt have only lost once to the last 10 matches in the Champions League group stage, seven wins and two draws.
Frankfurt also didn't like the game to end without a goal. Of the last 67 games in Europe, only one game ended without a goal.
