Eintracht Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Fixture

Match Coverage

Arne Slot implemented five changes to the starting XI after the loss to Manchester United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is one of the significant developments, while Florian Wirtz returns to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them added energy as replacements in the previous match—are also included in the lineup, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

Lineup Announcement

Liverpool will start to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Preamble

After losing four matches in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the club suffered five losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the top flight.

Currently, no one is implying that the team face relegation now. Yet the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that piece of history. Liverpool must bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns back on track quickly.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the team Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this match proves especially difficult.

The exciting action starts at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
