Eintracht Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in UCL Match

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager introduced five adjustments to the starting XI following the loss to Manchester United on Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is one of the significant changes, while Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them added energy as replacements in the previous match—have been included in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an knock.

Liverpool will start to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

After suffering four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite entering uncharted waters. However, the last time the team suffered five consecutive losses in a row was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the old First Division.

Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team face relegation this season. Yet the manager will be eager to avoid making that piece of the past. Liverpool must get their domestic and European campaigns back on track quickly.

Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this match proves especially challenging.
