Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Clash
Live Updates
Liverpool's manager has made several changes to the starting lineup following the loss to United on Sunday. Salah starting on the bench is one of the major surprises, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the previous match—have been included in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, and Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds are set up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Match Background
Following losing four matches in a row, the Reds are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. This campaign ended in the drop from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's implying that the team are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot is keen to prevent making that piece of history. The team must get their domestic and Champions League seasons moving positively as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. So, predicting this match proves especially challenging.
The exciting action starts at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
