Confirmed UCL lineups: Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Liverpool

European football returns to Deutsche Bank Park as Eintracht Frankfurt host Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League. Here are the confirmed lineups of both teams.

Frankfurt have had a mixed start to the Champions League and will be looking to impress in front of their home fans.

Liverpool, coached by Arne Slot, arrive with attacking firepower and tactical discipline – but also with a lot of self-doubt after their loss against Manchester United at the weekend. Hugo Ekitiké, who’s in the starting lineup, will be looking forward to a match against his former teammates.

Analysts predict a tactical, high-tempo encounter. Frankfurt are likely to focus on compact defending and quick transitions, while Liverpool will look to control possession and impose their attacking game.

With just about an hour to go, here are the confirmed lineups of both teams:
