Frankfurt Battles The Reds in UCL Fixture
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager introduced five alterations to the starting lineup following the loss to United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as replacements in the previous match—are also included in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Preamble
Following losing four games back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five defeats in a row was during 1953, under Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the first division.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that the team are going down now. Yet the manager is eager to avoid repeating that piece of the past. The team need to bring their domestic and European campaigns moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they won against. Therefore, predicting this game is particularly difficult.
This exciting fun starts at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
