Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in UCL Match

Game Highlights

Liverpool's manager implemented multiple changes to the first eleven after the loss to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the key surprises, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the last game—have been named in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Preamble

After suffering four fixtures in a row, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the last time the team lost five defeats in a row was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.

Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool are going down now. But the manager will be keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. The team need to bring their domestic and European seasons moving positively quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team Eintracht beat. So, predicting this match proves particularly difficult.

This unpredictable fun begins at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
