Eintracht Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in UCL Fixture

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager has made several alterations to the starting XI following the setback to United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is one of the major changes, while Florian Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the previous match—have been included in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

Liverpool will start to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔮 #ChampionsLeague

Match Background

Following suffering four games consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the team lost five losses in a row was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in the drop from the first division.

Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation now. But Arne Slot will be keen to avoid making that piece of history. The team must bring their Premier League and European campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.

Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team they beat. Therefore, forecasting this match is especially challenging.

The unpredictable fun starts at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
