Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Clash

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager has made multiple changes to the starting XI following the loss to United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is among the key changes, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the recent fixture—have been included in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds are set up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Match Background

After losing four games consecutively, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the last time the team suffered five defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This campaign ended in the drop from the top flight.

Now, no one is implying that Liverpool face relegation now. But Arne Slot is keen to prevent repeating that bit of history. Liverpool need to get their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team Eintracht beat. So, predicting this game is especially difficult.

The unpredictable action starts at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
