Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager introduced several changes to the starting XI following the setback to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is one of the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the last game—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Match Background
After suffering four games consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the team lost five losses on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Now, no one is implying that the team are going down now. But Arne Slot is eager to prevent repeating that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and European seasons on course quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's tournament finished 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one they beat. So, predicting this game proves especially challenging.
The unpredictable action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
