Eintracht Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager has made five adjustments to the starting XI following the setback to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the key developments, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as substitutes in the last game—are also named in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

Match Background
After losing four games back-to-back, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.
Now, no one is seriously suggesting that the team face relegation this season. Yet the manager is eager to avoid repeating that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and Champions League campaigns on course quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's competition finished 5-1—a home win 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 team they won against. So, predicting this match is especially challenging.
This exciting fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
