Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Clash

Live Updates

Liverpool's manager introduced five changes to the starting XI after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is among the significant developments, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also named in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds are set up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Pre-Match Context

After losing four fixtures consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering uncharted waters. But, the last time the club lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the old First Division.

Now, nobody's implying that the team face relegation this season. Yet the manager is eager to avoid making that piece of history. Liverpool must get their domestic and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team they beat. Therefore, forecasting this match is especially challenging.

This exciting fun starts at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
