Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Match
Live Updates
Liverpool's manager implemented several changes to the starting lineup after the setback to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is among the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the starting side. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the previous match—have been named in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After suffering four games in a row, the Reds are not exactly entering uncharted waters. However, the last time the club suffered five consecutive losses in a row was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Currently, no one is claiming that the team face relegation now. Yet the manager is keen to prevent making that bit of the past. Liverpool must get their Premier League and European seasons on course quickly.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the one they won against. Therefore, predicting this game is particularly challenging.
The exciting action begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
