Eintracht Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in Champions League Fixture

Match Coverage

Arne Slot has made several alterations to the starting XI after the setback to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the key surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as replacements in the recent fixture—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context

Following suffering four games consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the top flight.

Currently, nobody's implying that the team are going down this season. But Arne Slot is eager to avoid repeating that bit of the past. The team need to get their Premier League and Champions League seasons moving positively as soon as possible.

Eintracht 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. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. So, forecasting this match proves especially difficult.

The exciting action starts at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
