Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Clash
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made multiple adjustments to the starting XI following the setback to United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the key changes, while Florian Wirtz is back to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the last game—are also named in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After losing four games in a row, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. But, the previous occasion the club lost five losses in a row was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. This campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.
Now, no one is implying that the team face relegation this season. But the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that piece of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and European campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's competition finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves especially difficult.
This unpredictable fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
