Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Fixture

Game Highlights

Arne Slot implemented five changes to the starting XI following the setback to United over the weekend. Salah starting on the bench is among the key developments, while Florian Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also named in the lineup, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds are set up to take on Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Preamble

After losing four matches back-to-back, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. But, the last time the club lost five losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the old First Division.

Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool are going down now. Yet the manager will be eager to prevent making that bit of history. Liverpool must bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns moving positively quickly.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one they won against. So, predicting this game is especially challenging.

The exciting action starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
