Eintracht Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager introduced multiple adjustments to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is one of the key surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the previous match—are also included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Gravenberch is absent because of an knock.

Match Background
Following suffering four fixtures in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the club suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, no one is claiming that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet the manager is eager to avoid repeating that piece of history. The team must get their Premier League and European seasons on course quickly.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's competition finished 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this game is especially difficult.
