Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in UCL Fixture

Match Coverage

Arne Slot has made five adjustments to the starting XI after the loss to Manchester United on Sunday. Salah starting on the bench is one of the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, while Gravenberch is absent because of an knock.

Pre-Match Context

Following losing four games back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. But, the last time the club lost five defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in the drop from the old First Division.

Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team face relegation now. Yet the manager will be keen to prevent repeating that piece of the past. Liverpool need to get their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.

Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the one they won against. Therefore, forecasting this match proves particularly challenging.

This exciting action begins at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
