Eintracht Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Clash
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager implemented several alterations to the first eleven after the loss to United last Sunday. Salah starting on the bench is one of the key surprises, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the last game—are also named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

Liverpool line up to face Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
Following suffering four matches consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under Don Welsh. That season resulted in the drop from the first division.
Now, no one is implying that the team are going down this season. Yet the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team need to get their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the team they beat. So, forecasting this match proves particularly challenging.
This unpredictable action begins at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
