Frankfurt Battles The Reds in UCL Fixture

Game Highlights

Arne Slot implemented multiple alterations to the starting XI following the loss to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the last game—are also included in the lineup, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

How the Reds will start to face Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Pre-Match Context

After suffering four games back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the club suffered five losses in a row was during 1953, under manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the top flight.

Now, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet the manager is keen to avoid making that piece of the past. Liverpool need to get their domestic and Champions League campaigns back on track quickly.

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 Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly challenging.
