Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager introduced multiple adjustments to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is among the key surprises, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the previous match—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle issue.

Liverpool are set up to face Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Match Background

Following losing four matches consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite entering uncharted waters. However, the last time the club lost five defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in the drop from the first division.

Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation this season. But the manager will be keen to prevent making that bit of the past. The team need to bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.

Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. So, forecasting this match proves especially difficult.

This unpredictable action starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
