Eintracht Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager introduced five alterations to the starting lineup after the 2-1 defeat to United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is one of the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the last game—are also included in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

How the Reds line up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Pre-Match Context
After losing four games back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, no one is implying that the team face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to prevent repeating that piece of history. The team need to bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the one they won against. So, forecasting this game proves especially difficult.
The exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
