Frankfurt Battles The Reds in UCL Clash
Game Highlights
Arne Slot introduced multiple alterations to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is one of the key surprises, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the last game—have been included in the lineup, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle issue.

Match Background
After losing four matches in a row, Liverpool are not exactly entering uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the club lost five losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the first division.
Currently, no one is claiming that Liverpool face relegation now. But Arne Slot is eager to avoid repeating that piece of history. The team need to bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly challenging.
The exciting action begins at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
