Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Clash

Game Highlights

Arne Slot implemented several changes to the first eleven following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah being dropped is among the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as substitutes in the last game—have been included in the lineup, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

How the Reds will start to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Pre-Match Context

After suffering four fixtures consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering uncharted waters. However, the last time the team suffered five losses on the bounce was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the first division.

Currently, nobody's claiming that the team are going down this season. But the manager will be eager to avoid repeating that bit of history. Liverpool must get their Premier League and Champions League campaigns on course quickly.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. So, forecasting this game is particularly challenging.
