Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Fixture
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager introduced multiple adjustments to the starting XI after the 2-1 defeat to United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is among the major developments, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the last game—are also included in the lineup, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

Liverpool will start to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
After losing four games consecutively, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the top flight.
Now, no one is implying that the team face relegation now. Yet the manager will be keen to prevent repeating that bit of the past. Liverpool must bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns on course quickly.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one they won against. So, forecasting this match is particularly difficult.
The unpredictable fun starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
