Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Clash
Live Updates
Liverpool's manager introduced multiple changes to the first eleven after the setback to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is among the significant changes, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the previous match—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

Match Background
After losing four games back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the last time the team lost five consecutive defeats in a row was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, no one is claiming that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet the manager will be eager to prevent making that piece of the past. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they won against. So, forecasting this game proves especially challenging.
