Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Arne Slot implemented multiple adjustments to the first eleven following the setback to United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is among the major developments, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also named in the lineup, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, while Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After losing four matches consecutively, the Reds are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five losses in a row was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Currently, no one is claiming that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet the manager is keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and Champions League seasons on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. So, predicting this game proves particularly challenging.
The unpredictable fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
