Live Updates
Liverpool's manager implemented several adjustments to the starting lineup after the 2-1 defeat to United on Sunday. Salah being dropped is one of the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as substitutes in the recent fixture—have been included in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Match Background
After losing four fixtures in a row, the Reds aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club lost five losses in a row was back in the 1950s, with Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the first division.
Currently, no one is claiming that the team are going down now. But Arne Slot will be keen to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team need to get their domestic and European seasons moving positively quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. So, forecasting this game is particularly difficult.
This unpredictable action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
