Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Match

Game Highlights

Arne Slot introduced multiple alterations to the starting lineup following the setback to Manchester United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is one of the major changes, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the last game—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context

Following suffering four matches consecutively, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the club lost five losses in a row was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. This campaign ended in relegation from the old First Division.

Now, no one is implying that the team are going down now. But the manager will be keen to prevent making that bit of history. The team must bring their Premier League and European campaigns back on track quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they beat. So, forecasting this match is especially challenging.

The exciting fun starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
