Eintracht Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Fixture

Live Updates

Liverpool's manager implemented five changes to the starting XI after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah starting on the bench is one of the key developments, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the last game—are also included in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle injury.

Match Background

Following suffering four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite entering uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the top flight.

Now, no one is implying that the team face relegation now. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to prevent making that piece of history. The team need to get their domestic and European campaigns moving positively quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. So, forecasting this game is particularly challenging.

The unpredictable action starts at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
