Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Match

Game Highlights

Liverpool's manager introduced several adjustments to the starting XI after the 2-1 defeat to United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is one of the key developments, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the previous match—are also named in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

Liverpool are set up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Preamble

Following losing four games back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.

Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down now. Yet the manager is keen to prevent repeating that piece of the past. The team must get their domestic and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. So, forecasting this match proves particularly difficult.
