Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Arne Slot introduced five changes to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the major changes, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the last game—have been named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

Match Background
Following suffering four matches back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five defeats in a row was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation now. But Arne Slot is keen to avoid making that bit of history. Liverpool need to get their domestic and European campaigns back on track quickly.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, forecasting this match is particularly difficult.
The unpredictable fun begins at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
