Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Match
Live Updates
Arne Slot implemented several alterations to the first eleven following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the last game—are also named in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.
Lineup Announcement
Liverpool will start to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
Following suffering four matches back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. But, the last time the club lost five consecutive losses in a row was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down this season. But the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team need to get their domestic and European seasons moving positively as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. So, predicting this game proves particularly challenging.
The exciting fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
