Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager has made five changes to the starting lineup after the loss to United over the weekend. Salah being dropped is among the major developments, while Wirtz is back to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them 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, while Gravenberch is unavailable due to an knock.

Pre-Match Context
After losing four matches back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the last time the club lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the first division.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down this season. But Arne Slot will be keen to avoid making that piece of history. The team need to bring their domestic and European seasons on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team they won against. So, forecasting this game proves particularly difficult.
