Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Match
Match Coverage
Liverpool's manager introduced multiple adjustments to the starting XI following the setback to Manchester United on Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is one of the key changes, while Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the recent fixture—have been named in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Match Background
After losing four matches back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team suffered five consecutive defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down now. Yet the manager is eager to avoid making that piece of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one they won against. So, forecasting this game is especially challenging.
