Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as substitutes in the last game—are also named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Match Background
Following suffering four games in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering uncharted waters. However, the last time the team suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the top flight.
Now, no one is implying that Liverpool are going down this season. But Arne Slot is eager to avoid repeating that bit of the past. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and European campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, forecasting this game proves particularly difficult.
The exciting fun starts at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
