Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Fixture
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made five adjustments to the starting lineup after the setback to United over the weekend. Salah starting on the bench is one of the significant changes, while Florian Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as substitutes in the last game—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds line up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Pre-Match Context
After losing four games consecutively, the Reds aren't quite heading towards unknown territory. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during 1953, under Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that the team face relegation this season. But Arne Slot is keen to prevent making that bit of history. The team need to bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, predicting this game proves especially difficult.
This exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
