Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Arne Slot introduced multiple alterations to the first eleven following the loss to United on Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is among the key developments, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them made a difference as replacements in the last game—are also included in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle injury.

Match Background
Following losing four matches back-to-back, Liverpool aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation now. But the manager will be keen to avoid making that piece of history. Liverpool need to get their Premier League and Champions League seasons moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. So, forecasting this match is especially challenging.
The unpredictable fun starts at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
