FC Barcelona will be eager to get back on track after a stunning 3-0 loss to Chelsea last time out in the UEFA Champions League when they host Eintracht Frankfurt in Matchday 6 of the league phase on Tuesday.
The Blaugrana traveled to London with high hopes amid a strong run of form, but an early own goal and a red card to Ronald Araujo just before half-time gave them very little to work with on a historic night at Stamford Bridge for the Blues.
Barca now sit in 18th place in the UCL league phase table, with two wins, one draw and two losses for seven points through five games.
The loss to the English giants didn't hurt Barcelona's momentum in La Liga, however, as the Catalans have continued their dominant run. They extended their domestic winning streak to six on Saturday as they dismantled Real Betis 5-3 in Seville.
Just a few days prior, they put on one of their best performances of the season so far in a 3-1 win over title challengers Atlético Madrid at the Camp Nou.
Hansi Flick's troops now sit four points clear at the top of the table after Real Madrid suffered a 2-0 defeat to Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, have struggled in their return to Champions League football following a two-year hiatus, winning only once and losing three games so far. They sit in 28th position, two points adrift of the playoff qualification spots.
Die Adler were handed a 3-0 thrashing by Atalanta on Matchday 5, having already suffered big losses to Liverpool and Atletico Madrid earlier in the campaign. Their lone win came against Galatasaray in their tournament opener.
Their Bundesliga form has faltered of late as well, fresh off a devastating 6-0 loss in Leipzig over the weekend. Eintracht currently occupies seventh place in the German league standings, one point off the final European qualification spot.
Barcelona and Eintracht Frankfurt have only faced each other twice before as part of a quarterfinal tie in the Europa League during the 2022-23 season. Frankfurt shocked the Spanish giants with a 4-3 aggregate win following a dramatic second leg win by the Germans in Barcelona.

Eintracht Frankfurt Team News and Predicted Lineup
Gotze Eintracht Frankfurt
To add insult to injury, Frankfurt lost a pair of important players in their heavy defeat to Leipzig, as Mitchy Batshuayi and Jonathan Burkhardt were forced off.
Neither is expected to feature against Barcelona, but head coach Dino Toppmoller will be encouraged by the return to fitness of Can Uzun and Hugo Larsson, who both saw the pitch over the weekend.
World Cup winner Mario Gotze should also feature in the starting lineup on Tuesday as he continues to look for his first goal of the season.
Eintracht Frankfurt predicted lineup (3-4-2-1): Michael Zetterer (GK) - Nnamdi Collins, Robin Koch, Arthur Theate - Rasmus Kristensen, Fares Chaibi, Mahmoud Dahoud, Nathaniel Brown - Mario Gotze, Ritsu Doan - Jean Matteo Bahoya.

Barcelona's squad is as healthy as it's been all season, much to the delight of Hansi Flick and his staff.
The German boss should deploy his lethal attacking trident of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. They'll likely be joined by Ferran Torres, who will be difficult to leave off the team sheet after his hat-trick against Betis.
Eric Garcia has been a revelation in a holding midfield role and should retain his spot alongside Pedri.
Gerard Martin has impressed as a makeshift center-back in Ronald Araujo's absence, and should continue in the middle of defense to face Eintracht.
FC Barcelona predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Joan Garcia (GK) - Jules Koundé, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, Alejandro Balde - Eric Garcia, Pedri - Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Ferran Torres - Robert Lewandowski.
