Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in Champions League Fixture

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager has made multiple adjustments to the starting XI after the 2-1 defeat to United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the significant changes, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them made a difference as substitutes in the recent fixture—have been named in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

Match Background

After suffering four matches back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses in a row was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.

Currently, no one is claiming that Liverpool are going down this season. But the manager will be keen to prevent repeating that piece of the past. Liverpool need to get their domestic and European campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they won against. So, predicting this game is particularly difficult.

This exciting fun begins at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
