Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in Champions League Fixture

Game Highlights

Liverpool's manager has made multiple adjustments to the starting lineup following the loss to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the significant changes, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them added energy as replacements in the last game—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

Lineup Announcement

Liverpool will start to face Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

Following losing four matches in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the club lost five losses in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the first division.

Now, no one is implying that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to avoid making that piece of the past. The team need to get their domestic and European campaigns on course as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the one they won against. So, predicting this game is particularly challenging.

The exciting action starts at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
