Frankfurt Faces The Reds in UCL Match
Match Coverage
Arne Slot has made several adjustments to the first eleven following the setback to United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is among the significant changes, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them added energy as replacements in the recent fixture—have been included in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
Following suffering four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. However, the last time the team lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's claiming that the team are going down now. But Arne Slot will be eager to prevent making that bit of history. The team must get their Premier League and European campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves particularly challenging.
The exciting action starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
