Game Highlights

Liverpool's manager implemented five alterations to the starting XI after the loss to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the previous match—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Gravenberch is unavailable due to an knock.

How the Reds will start to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Pre-Match Context

Following suffering four games consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the old First Division.

Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down this season. But the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that piece of the past. Liverpool must get their domestic and European campaigns moving positively quickly.

Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents 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 Eintracht won against. So, predicting this game proves particularly challenging.

The unpredictable action starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
