Predicting Arne Slot’s Liverpool line-up to face Eintracht Frankfurt has become a hot topic on social media in recent days. But Slot and Liverpool received a blow ahead of the Champions League encounter with confirmation that Ryan Gravenberch has not recovered from an ankle injury in time to face Frankfurt.

So, unfortunately, he's not ready to play tomorrow,” Slot told Liverpool’s website. The former Bayern Munich man has established himself as one of Slot’s most reliable players in the last 14 months, and he has started all nine league and European matches since returning from suspension in August.

The academy graduate has delivered positive contributions against Galatasaray and United, and many will feel he is deserving of a first start since the trip to Turkey in Liverpool’s last Champions League outing. One alternative Slot may consider is a complete switch of system, something the former Feyenord boss has not done once in his Liverpool tenure.
