Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in Champions League Clash
Match Coverage
Arne Slot introduced several changes to the starting lineup after the loss to United over the weekend. Salah starting on the bench is one of the significant developments, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the recent fixture—have been included in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context
After losing four games in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during 1953, under Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the first division.
Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot is eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team must bring their Premier League and European campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two 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 Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team they beat. So, forecasting this game proves particularly difficult.
The exciting fun begins at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
