Game Highlights

Arne Slot has made five adjustments to the starting lineup after the setback to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah starting on the bench is among the key changes, while Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as replacements in the previous match—have been named in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

How the Reds will start to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Pre-Match Context

After losing four matches back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the club lost five defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This campaign ended in the drop from the old First Division.

Now, no one is claiming that the team are going down now. But Arne Slot will be keen to avoid repeating that piece of history. The team must get their domestic and European campaigns on course quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this match is especially challenging.

The exciting action starts at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
