Frankfurt Faces The Reds in UCL Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager implemented five alterations to the starting lineup following the loss to United last Sunday. Salah starting on the bench is one of the significant changes, while Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the last game—have been included in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.

How the Reds are set up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Pre-Match Context
After losing four matches consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club lost five defeats in a row was during 1953, under manager Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's implying that the team are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot is eager to avoid repeating that piece of the past. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. So, forecasting this game proves especially difficult.
The unpredictable action begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
