Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Match
Live Updates
Liverpool's manager implemented several alterations to the starting lineup after the 2-1 defeat to United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is among the significant developments, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as replacements in the last game—have been included in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

How the Reds are set up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Pre-Match Context
Following suffering four fixtures in a row, the Reds aren't quite heading towards unknown territory. However, the last time the club suffered five losses on the bounce was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet the manager is keen to avoid making that bit of the past. Liverpool need to bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this match proves particularly difficult.
The unpredictable action starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
