Frankfurt Faces The Reds in UCL Match
Match Coverage
Arne Slot has made five alterations to the starting XI following the loss to United on Sunday. Salah being dropped is among the key developments, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the previous match—are also named in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

How the Reds are set up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Match Background
After suffering four matches in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five defeats in a row was during 1953, under manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, no one is implying that Liverpool face relegation this season. But Arne Slot is keen to avoid making that bit of history. The team need to get their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team they won against. So, predicting this match proves particularly difficult.
This exciting fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
