Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Fixture
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager implemented several alterations to the starting lineup following the setback to United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah being dropped is among the major developments, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

Match Background
After suffering four games back-to-back, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Now, nobody's claiming that the team are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to avoid making that bit of history. The team must bring their Premier League and European seasons on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves particularly difficult.
The unpredictable fun begins at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
