Game Highlights
Arne Slot implemented several adjustments to the starting XI following the setback to United over the weekend.

Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as replacements in the last game—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After losing four matches back-to-back, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's implying that Liverpool are going down this season. But the manager is eager to avoid making that piece of history. The team must get their Premier League and Champions League campaigns back on track quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition finished 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. So, forecasting this game proves especially difficult.
This exciting fun starts at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
