Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager has made five adjustments to the starting lineup after the 2-1 defeat to United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is one of the major developments, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the last game—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, and Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

Match Background
After losing four fixtures in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering unknown territory. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the first division.
Currently, no one is implying that Liverpool face relegation this season. But Arne Slot will be eager to avoid making that piece of history. Liverpool need to get their Premier League and European campaigns moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they beat. Therefore, forecasting this game is particularly challenging.
