The lyrics in the song when Eli appears

We know solid and solidus name already, now its liquids turn

could be a snake on his leg

the attitude. and maybe more i dont remember now

Eli may be Liquid, but until either the game is released or otherwise Kojima effectively states it similar to how he confirmed Huey was Otacon's father at TGS2009's Peace Walker unveiling, we cannot say he is Liquid, as we have nothing to go by other than circumstantial evidence. Besides, its not like Liquid's the only one to curse his fate. Solid Snake cursed his existence as well, Raiden cursed his existence, and even Solidus cursed his own existence and fate as well. It could just as easily be someone who hadn't appeared beforehand. Besides, Kojima also stated that Liquid would appear in Peace Walker, yet he didn't, and the scene with Big Boss tackling Amanda had initially been mistaken for Liquid (I'd know, I was one of those people).
