Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Clash

Game Highlights

Arne Slot introduced multiple alterations to the starting XI after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah being dropped is among the key changes, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the previous match—have been named in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

Liverpool line up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Pre-Match Context

Following losing four games in a row, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club lost five defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. That campaign ended in the drop from the old First Division.

Currently, nobody's implying that the team face relegation now. But the manager will be keen to prevent making that piece of history. Liverpool must bring their domestic and Champions League seasons on course as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. Therefore, predicting this match proves particularly difficult.

The exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
