Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Fixture

Live Updates

Arne Slot implemented several changes to the starting lineup following the setback to United last Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is among the key surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the last game—have been included in the lineup, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

Liverpool will start to take on Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

After suffering four games back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly entering uncharted waters. But, the last time the club lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the top flight.

Now, no one is claiming that Liverpool are going down now. Yet the manager is eager to avoid making that bit of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns back on track quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they beat. Therefore, forecasting this game is especially difficult.

The unpredictable fun begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
