Eintracht Frankfurt Battles The Reds in UCL Clash
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager implemented five changes to the starting lineup after the setback to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as substitutes in the recent fixture—have been named in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an knock.

How the Reds line up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
Following losing four games consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the team lost five defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This campaign ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down this season. Yet the manager is eager to avoid making that piece of the past. The team must get their Premier League and European campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this match is particularly difficult.
