Frankfurt Faces The Reds in Champions League Clash

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager introduced multiple adjustments to the starting XI following the setback to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the major surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them made a difference as replacements in the last game—are also named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

How the Reds will start to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

Following suffering four matches in a row, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive losses in a row was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.

Now, nobody's implying that the team face relegation now. But the manager is keen to prevent making that piece of the past. Liverpool must bring their domestic and European seasons moving positively as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this match proves particularly challenging.

The exciting action starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
