The fans are ready, the players are ready, we are ready for kick-off. Eintracht Frankfurt face Bayer Leverkusen with six points currently separating the two after Frankfurt's close loss to Bayern Munich last week. Eintracht Frankfurt will want to close that gap, while Leverkusen will look to narrow the distance between themselves and Bayern Munich above them. This is going to be an interesting match.
The referee's whistle blew as Ekitike took the kick-off for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Toppmöller employed a 3-1-4-2 formation with Trapp, the captain, in goal. Kristensen, Koch — back from injury — and Theate in defense. Larsson as the pivot sitting right in front of the defense. A midfield containing Knauff, Skhiri, Götze, and Brown. With Lukas and Ekitike up top.
There were a lot of attacking options on the pitch, but the defense was sorely lacking.
