Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Fixture

Live Updates

Liverpool's manager implemented several adjustments to the starting XI after the loss to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is among the major surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the last game—have been included in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

Liverpool will start to face Eintracht Frankfurt šŸ”“ #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

After losing four matches in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the first division.

Currently, nobody's implying that Liverpool are going down now. But Arne Slot will be keen to prevent making that bit of history. The team must bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns moving positively quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they won against. Therefore, predicting this game is especially difficult.

This exciting action starts at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
