Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made multiple alterations to the starting XI following the loss to United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is one of the major developments, while Wirtz is back to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the recent fixture—are also included in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After suffering four matches back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the last time the club lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in the drop from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's claiming that the team face relegation now. But the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. Liverpool need to bring their Premier League and European seasons moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one they won against. Therefore, predicting this match is particularly challenging.
This unpredictable action begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
