Eintracht Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Fixture
Match Coverage
Arne Slot implemented five alterations to the starting XI following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is among the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the last game—have been named in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an knock.

Liverpool line up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Match Background
After suffering four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, no one is implying that the team are going down this season. But Arne Slot is eager to avoid repeating that piece of history. The team need to bring their domestic and European campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the team Eintracht beat. So, forecasting this game proves especially challenging.
This unpredictable action starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
