Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Fixture

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager has made five changes to the first eleven after the setback to Manchester United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is among the significant developments, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the recent fixture—have been named in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context

Following losing four matches consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite entering uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the team lost five defeats on the bounce was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in relegation from the first division.

Currently, no one is claiming that the team are going down this season. But the manager is keen to avoid making that bit of history. The team must get their domestic and Champions League campaigns back on track as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they won against. So, predicting this game is particularly challenging.

This unpredictable action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
