Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager implemented several adjustments to the starting lineup after the setback to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is among the major surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as substitutes in the previous match—have been named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context
Following losing four fixtures consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five losses in a row was back in 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Now, nobody's implying that the team are going down this season. But Arne Slot is keen to avoid making that piece of history. The team must get their domestic and Champions League campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they won against. So, predicting this match proves particularly difficult.
The unpredictable fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
