Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in Champions League Fixture
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager implemented multiple changes to the starting lineup after the setback to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is one of the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as substitutes in the last game—are also named in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds line up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Pre-Match Context
After suffering four games back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club lost five losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the top flight.
Now, nobody's implying that the team are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot is eager to avoid repeating that piece of history. The team need to get their Premier League and European campaigns on course quickly.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the team they won against. Therefore, forecasting this match is particularly difficult.
The unpredictable action starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
