Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in Champions League Match
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager introduced multiple changes to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah starting on the bench is one of the key developments, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the previous match—have been named in the lineup, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

Match Background
After losing four matches consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the top flight.
Now, no one is seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. But Arne Slot is keen to avoid repeating that piece of history. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and European seasons on course quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team they won against. So, forecasting this game proves especially challenging.
