Match Coverage
Arne Slot implemented multiple alterations to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to United on Sunday.

Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as replacements in the previous match—are also included in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context
After losing four games back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly entering uncharted waters. But, the last time the club lost five losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation this season. But Arne Slot will be eager to avoid repeating that bit of history. The team need to bring their domestic and European campaigns back on track quickly.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, forecasting this game proves especially difficult.
This exciting action starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
