Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager implemented five changes to the starting XI after the loss to United last Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is one of the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the recent fixture—have been included in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, while Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context
After suffering four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team suffered five losses in a row was back in the 1950s, under 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 is eager to avoid making that bit of history. The team need to bring their Premier League and European campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. So, predicting this match is especially challenging.
This unpredictable fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
