Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in UCL Fixture

Match Coverage

Arne Slot has made several changes to the first eleven following the loss to United last Sunday.

Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the recent fixture—have been included in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

How the Reds are set up to face Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Pre-Match Context

After suffering four matches consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in the drop from the old First Division.

Now, no one is implying that the team face relegation this season. Yet the manager will be keen to prevent making that bit of history. Liverpool need to bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons on course as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. Therefore, predicting this game is particularly challenging.

The exciting fun begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
