Eintracht Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in UCL Fixture
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager implemented multiple changes to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the significant changes, while Florian Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as replacements in the last game—have been included in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After losing four matches back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the club suffered five defeats in a row was during 1953, under manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to avoid making that bit of history. The team must get their domestic and Champions League campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they beat. So, forecasting this game is especially difficult.
The exciting action starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
