Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager introduced several changes to the starting lineup following the setback to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is one of the significant developments, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also included in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable because of an knock.

How the Reds are set up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Pre-Match Context
Following losing four fixtures consecutively, the Reds are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down now. Yet the manager will be keen to prevent making that piece of history. The team need to bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves especially challenging.
The exciting action begins at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
