Eintracht Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in Champions League Match

Live Updates

Liverpool's manager introduced five changes to the first eleven following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is one of the key surprises, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as substitutes in the last game—are also named in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an knock.

Pre-Match Context

Following losing four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the top flight.

Now, no one is implying that Liverpool face relegation now. But the manager will be keen to prevent repeating that bit of the past. The team need to bring their domestic and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match is particularly challenging.

This unpredictable action begins at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
