Frankfurt Battles The Reds in UCL Match
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager implemented multiple changes to the starting lineup following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is one of the significant changes, while Wirtz returns to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the previous match—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After suffering four games consecutively, the Reds are not exactly entering uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive losses in a row was back in the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This campaign ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Currently, nobody's implying that Liverpool are going down this season. But Arne Slot is keen to prevent repeating that piece of the past. Liverpool need to bring their Premier League and European seasons on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. So, forecasting this game proves particularly challenging.
The unpredictable fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
