Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in Champions League Fixture

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager implemented multiple alterations to the first eleven following the loss to United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is one of the major surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the previous match—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

Match Background

Following suffering four games back-to-back, Liverpool aren't quite entering uncharted waters. But, the last time the club suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.

Now, nobody's implying that Liverpool are going down this season. But Arne Slot will be keen to avoid making that bit of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and European campaigns back on track as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team they beat. So, forecasting this game proves particularly difficult.

The unpredictable action begins at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
