Frankfurt Battles The Reds in UCL Fixture

Game Highlights

Arne Slot has made five adjustments to the starting lineup after the 2-1 defeat to United on Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is one of the key surprises, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them brought impact as substitutes in the previous match—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an knock.

Liverpool line up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Preamble

After suffering four fixtures in a row, the Reds are not exactly entering unknown territory. But, the last time the team suffered five defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. This campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.

Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to prevent repeating that piece of the past. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and European seasons moving positively as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one they won against. Therefore, predicting this match is particularly challenging.
