Eintracht Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Fixture
Game Highlights
Arne Slot introduced several changes to the starting XI after the loss to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the significant changes, while Florian Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the previous match—have been named in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

Match Background
After suffering four matches consecutively, the Reds are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the team lost five losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This campaign ended in the drop from the old First Division.
Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team face relegation now. But Arne Slot will be keen to avoid repeating that piece of history. The team need to bring their Premier League and European campaigns moving positively quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's competition finished 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, forecasting this game is particularly difficult.
