Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Fixture
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made multiple alterations to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the last game—have been included in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Match Background
Following suffering four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the first division.
Now, nobody's implying that the team face relegation this season. But the manager will be keen to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team need to get their domestic and European seasons on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team they beat. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly challenging.
The exciting fun starts at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
