Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in UCL Fixture

Live Updates

Liverpool's manager introduced several adjustments to the starting XI after the loss to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah being dropped is among the major developments, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the previous match—have been included in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

Liverpool will start to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Pre-Match Context

After losing four matches consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five losses in a row was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the top flight.

Now, no one is implying that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet Arne Slot is keen to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team need to get their Premier League and European seasons moving positively quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial 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. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team they beat. Therefore, predicting this match is particularly difficult.

This exciting action begins at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
