Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in Champions League Clash
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager introduced multiple changes to the starting lineup after the 2-1 defeat to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the significant surprises, while Wirtz is back to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the recent fixture—have been named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an knock.

Pre-Match Context
Following losing four games in a row, Liverpool are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team lost five defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the top flight.
Now, no one is claiming that the team face relegation this season. But the manager is keen to avoid making that bit of history. Liverpool need to get their domestic and European campaigns on course quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's tournament finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, predicting this game proves especially difficult.
The exciting fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
