Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in Champions League Fixture
Game Highlights
Arne Slot implemented five alterations to the starting XI following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the major changes, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the previous match—are also named in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After losing four fixtures in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering uncharted waters. But, the last time the club suffered five losses on the bounce was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. Liverpool need to get their domestic and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's competition both ended 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, forecasting this game is especially difficult.
The unpredictable fun begins at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
