Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in Champions League Match
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made multiple adjustments to the starting lineup following the 2-1 defeat to United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is among the key changes, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as substitutes in the previous match—have been named in the lineup, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle injury.

Liverpool line up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
Following losing four matches consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation this season. But Arne Slot will be keen to avoid repeating that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and Champions League seasons on course as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. So, predicting this match is especially difficult.
This unpredictable fun starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
