Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match

Game Highlights

Liverpool's manager introduced multiple adjustments to the first eleven following the 2-1 defeat to United over the weekend. Salah starting on the bench is one of the key changes, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as substitutes in the previous match—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

Match Background

After suffering four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the club suffered five defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the top flight.

Currently, no one is implying that the team are going down this season. Yet the manager will be eager to prevent making that bit of the past. The team need to get their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.

Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one they won against. Therefore, forecasting this game is especially difficult.

The exciting action starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
