Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Clash
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager introduced several changes to the starting XI following the 2-1 defeat to United on Sunday. Salah being dropped is one of the major surprises, while Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the recent fixture—are also included in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle injury.

Match Background
After suffering four games consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the first division.
Currently, nobody's claiming that the team face relegation now. But the manager is eager to prevent repeating that bit of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and European seasons moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team they beat. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly difficult.
The unpredictable action starts at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
