Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager has made five adjustments to the starting lineup after the setback to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed 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 replacements in the recent fixture—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds line up to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Preamble
After suffering four games back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the first division.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. Yet the manager is eager to prevent making that bit of the past. The team need to bring their domestic and European seasons back on track quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the team they beat. So, predicting this game proves particularly difficult.
The exciting fun begins at 8pm UK time. It's on!
