Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in Champions League Clash
Live Updates
Liverpool's manager introduced multiple changes to the starting lineup following the setback to United over the weekend. Salah being dropped is one of the key surprises, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the recent fixture—have been named in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

How the Reds will start to take on Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Pre-Match Context
After suffering four fixtures in a row, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. However, the last time the club lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's implying that the team are going down now. Yet Arne Slot is eager to avoid making that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and Champions League campaigns moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, forecasting this match proves particularly challenging.
