Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Clash
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager implemented multiple alterations to the starting XI after the 2-1 defeat to United over the weekend. Salah not in the lineup is among the key developments, while Florian Wirtz returns to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the previous match—are also included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

Preamble
After losing four fixtures in a row, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's implying that Liverpool face relegation now. But the manager is keen to prevent repeating that bit of history. Liverpool must bring their domestic and European campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one they won against. So, predicting this game is particularly challenging.
The unpredictable action begins at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
