Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager has made several adjustments to the first eleven following the 2-1 defeat to United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the significant changes, while Wirtz is back to the first team. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the last game—have been named in the lineup, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After suffering four matches in a row, Liverpool are not exactly entering uncharted waters. However, the last time the team lost five losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in the drop from the top flight.
Now, nobody's implying that Liverpool face relegation now. But Arne Slot is eager to avoid making that piece of history. Liverpool must bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. Therefore, forecasting this game proves particularly difficult.
The unpredictable action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
