Eintracht Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Match

Match Coverage

Arne Slot implemented several adjustments to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the key changes, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as substitutes in the previous match—are also named in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context

Following losing four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the team lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the first division.

Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. But the manager is keen to prevent making that piece of history. Liverpool must get their Premier League and European campaigns back on track quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they beat. Therefore, predicting this match proves particularly challenging.

This exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
