Eintracht Frankfurt Faces The Reds in UCL Fixture
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager has made five adjustments to the starting XI after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is one of the key changes, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as substitutes in the recent fixture—have been named in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
Following losing four matches in a row, the Reds aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the team lost five defeats on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in the drop from the first division.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down now. But Arne Slot will be eager to avoid repeating that bit of history. The team need to bring their domestic and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this match proves particularly challenging.
The unpredictable fun starts at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
