Eintracht Frankfurt Battles The Reds in UCL Fixture

Match Coverage

Arne Slot has made multiple alterations to the starting lineup following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the significant developments, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the previous match—have been named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

How the Reds are set up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

Following losing four fixtures in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the last time the club lost five consecutive losses in a row was during 1953, with Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the old First Division.

Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down now. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to avoid repeating that bit of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons on course as soon as possible.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one Eintracht beat. So, predicting this match is especially challenging.

The unpredictable fun starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
