Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager has made five changes to the first eleven after the loss to United over the weekend.

Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context
After losing four matches consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite entering uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during 1953, under manager Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the top flight.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to prevent making that piece of the past. Liverpool must bring their Premier League and European campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's competition finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team they beat. Therefore, forecasting this match proves particularly challenging.
