Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager introduced multiple changes to the first eleven after the loss to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is among the significant developments, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them brought impact as substitutes in the previous match—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

How the Reds are set up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

After suffering four matches consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the team lost five defeats in a row was back in 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the old First Division.

Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that the team are going down now. Yet the manager is keen to avoid making that bit of the past. Liverpool must bring their domestic and European seasons moving positively as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's competition both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. Therefore, forecasting this game is especially challenging.

This unpredictable action starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
