Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Clash

Match Coverage

Arne Slot implemented several changes to the starting lineup following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah being dropped is among the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as substitutes in the last game—have been named in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context

After losing four matches consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the first division.

Currently, nobody's implying that the team face relegation this season. Yet the manager is eager to prevent making that piece of the past. Liverpool need to bring their Premier League and European campaigns back on track quickly.

Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team Eintracht beat. So, forecasting this game proves especially difficult.

The unpredictable fun begins at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
