Eintracht Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Clash
Match Coverage
Arne Slot has made several adjustments to the starting XI after the setback to Manchester United last Sunday. Salah starting on the bench is among the major developments, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them brought impact as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

Liverpool will start to face Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
After suffering four games back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite entering uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during 1953, under Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the first division.
Now, no one is claiming that Liverpool are going down this season. But the manager is keen to avoid repeating that bit of the past. Liverpool must bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns back on track quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team they beat. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly difficult.
The unpredictable fun begins at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
