Eintracht Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in Champions League Fixture
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager introduced multiple adjustments to the first eleven following the 2-1 defeat to United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the key changes, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also named in the lineup, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

Pre-Match Context
After suffering four fixtures back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. However, the last time the club suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot is eager to avoid repeating that bit of history. The team need to bring their Premier League and European campaigns back on track quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team they won against. Therefore, forecasting this match proves particularly difficult.
This exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
