Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in UCL Match
Match Coverage
Arne Slot has made several changes to the starting XI following the setback to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is among the key surprises, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the recent fixture—have been included in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

How the Reds are set up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Pre-Match Context
After suffering four games consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the club suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.
Now, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot is eager to avoid making that bit of the past. Liverpool need to get their Premier League and European seasons moving positively quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly difficult.
This exciting fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
