Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Clash
Match Coverage
Arne Slot has made multiple changes to the starting XI following the setback to United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the significant surprises, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the recent fixture—are also named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context
Following suffering four games in a row, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. But, the last time the club lost five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet the manager is eager to prevent repeating that bit of the past. Liverpool must bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's tournament finished 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. So, predicting this match is especially difficult.
The exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
