Eintracht Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager introduced several changes to the starting lineup following the setback to Manchester United on Sunday. Salah starting on the bench is among the significant changes, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them made a difference as replacements in the last game—have been named in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

How the Reds line up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Pre-Match Context
Following suffering four games consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the old First Division.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to prevent repeating that piece of history. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they won against. So, predicting this game proves especially difficult.
