Frankfurt Faces The Reds in UCL Clash
Match Coverage
Arne Slot introduced several changes to the first eleven after the loss to United on Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is one of the key surprises, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them brought impact as substitutes in the last game—are also included in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

How the Reds are set up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
After losing four games in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, with Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, no one is implying that Liverpool face relegation this season. But the manager is eager to avoid repeating that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and European campaigns moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they beat. Therefore, forecasting this game proves especially challenging.
The exciting fun begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
