Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in Champions League Fixture
Match Coverage
Arne Slot introduced five changes to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is one of the key changes, while Wirtz is back to the first team. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as replacements in the last game—have been named in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable due to an knock.

Liverpool will start to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
After suffering four fixtures in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five losses in a row was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Now, nobody's implying that the team face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to prevent repeating that piece of history. The team must bring their domestic and Champions League seasons moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. Therefore, forecasting this game is particularly challenging.
This exciting action starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
