Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in UCL Fixture

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager has made several changes to the first eleven after the setback to United last Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is among the key developments, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the last game—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Match Background

After losing four games back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive losses in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in relegation from the first division.

Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. But the manager is eager to prevent repeating that piece of history. The team need to get their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. Therefore, forecasting this game proves particularly challenging.

The exciting fun starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
