Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Match

Game Highlights

Arne Slot implemented multiple changes to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to United on Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is among the major surprises, while Wirtz is back to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the last game—have been named in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

How the Reds line up to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Preamble

After suffering four games consecutively, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. But, the last time the team suffered five consecutive defeats in a row was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the top flight.

Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation this season. But the manager will be eager to avoid making that piece of the past. The team need to bring their domestic and European campaigns on course quickly.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team they won against. So, forecasting this game is especially difficult.

The unpredictable action starts at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
