Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Arne Slot implemented several alterations to the starting XI following the setback to United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the last game—have been named in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
Following losing four matches back-to-back, Liverpool aren't quite entering uncharted waters. But, the last time the team suffered five losses in a row was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, no one is claiming that the team are going down now. Yet the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's competition finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves particularly challenging.
The exciting fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
