Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in Champions League Clash
Match Coverage
Arne Slot introduced several alterations to the starting XI after the setback to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is among the significant changes, while Florian Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as replacements in the last game—are also included in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds line up to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
Following losing four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five losses on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. This campaign ended in relegation from the first division.
Now, no one is seriously suggesting that the team face relegation now. But the manager is keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. The team must get their Premier League and Champions League seasons moving positively as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this game is particularly challenging.
The unpredictable action begins at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
