Eintracht Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Match
Game Highlights
Arne Slot implemented multiple changes to the starting lineup after the 2-1 defeat to United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the first team. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the last game—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Match Background
Following suffering four fixtures consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the club lost five defeats in a row was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in the drop from the first division.
Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down now. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to prevent repeating that bit of the past. Liverpool need to get their domestic and European seasons on course as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team they beat. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly challenging.
