Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Fixture

Game Highlights

Liverpool's manager has made multiple changes to the starting XI following the loss to United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the major surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the last game—have been named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Match Background

After losing four matches in a row, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the first division.

Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to avoid repeating that piece of history. The team need to get their Premier League and European seasons on course as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves particularly difficult.

This exciting action begins at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
