Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Arne Slot has made five alterations to the starting lineup after the loss to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the key surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as replacements in the recent fixture—are also included in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

How the Reds will start to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Pre-Match Context
Following losing four fixtures in a row, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the last time the team suffered five consecutive losses in a row was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the first division.
Now, no one is implying that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. The team must bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons on course as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. So, predicting this game proves especially challenging.
This unpredictable fun begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
