Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Fixture

Live Updates

Liverpool's manager has made multiple adjustments to the first eleven following the setback to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the major developments, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them brought impact as substitutes in the last game—have been named in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

Pre-Match Context

Following suffering four matches consecutively, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the club lost five consecutive losses in a row was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the old First Division.

Now, no one is implying that the team face relegation now. But Arne Slot is keen to avoid repeating that piece of the past. The team must bring their domestic and Champions League seasons on course as soon as possible.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the side Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves especially difficult.

The exciting fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
