Live Updates

Liverpool's manager has made multiple adjustments to the starting XI after the setback to Manchester United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is among the key changes, while Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

How the Reds will start to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Pre-Match Context

Following suffering four fixtures in a row, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the first division.

Now, nobody's claiming that the team face relegation now. But Arne Slot will be eager to prevent making that piece of history. The team must bring their domestic and European campaigns moving positively quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly challenging.

The unpredictable fun begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
