Frankfurt Battles The Reds in UCL Clash

Game Highlights

Liverpool's manager has made multiple adjustments to the starting XI after the loss to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the major developments, while Wirtz returns to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the recent fixture—are also included in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.

Liverpool are set up to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

Following losing four games in a row, the Reds are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the top flight.

Currently, nobody's implying that Liverpool are going down now. But the manager is keen to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team must bring their domestic and Champions League seasons moving positively quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they beat. Therefore, predicting this game proves especially challenging.

This unpredictable fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
