Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Match

Game Highlights

Liverpool's manager introduced five changes to the first eleven after the loss to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the key surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the last game—are also included in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context

After suffering four games consecutively, the Reds are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team lost five losses on the bounce was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. This campaign ended in the drop from the top flight.

Currently, nobody's claiming that the team face relegation now. But the manager is keen to avoid making that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and Champions League seasons on course 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, on the other hand, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one Eintracht beat. So, predicting this match is especially difficult.

The unpredictable action begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
