Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in UCL Fixture
Live Updates
Liverpool's manager implemented multiple alterations to the starting lineup after the loss to United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is among the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them made a difference as replacements in the previous match—are also named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

Pre-Match Context
Following losing four games consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the team lost five losses in a row was during 1953, with Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team face relegation this season. But the manager will be eager to prevent making that bit of history. The team need to bring their Premier League and European seasons back on track as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves especially difficult.
This exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
