Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made five alterations to the first eleven after the setback to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is among the key surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the previous match—are also named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

How the Reds will start to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Preamble
After losing four games in a row, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. But, the last time the team lost five consecutive defeats in a row was during 1953, with Don Welsh. That campaign ended in the drop from the first division.
Currently, no one is claiming that Liverpool face relegation now. But Arne Slot is keen to prevent repeating that piece of history. The team must bring their domestic and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the one they beat. So, predicting this game proves especially difficult.
