Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in Champions League Fixture
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made five changes to the starting lineup following the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday. Salah being dropped is among the key surprises, while Wirtz is back to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them brought impact as replacements in the recent fixture—have been included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

Match Background
After suffering four games consecutively, the Reds are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, with Don Welsh. That season resulted in the drop from the first division.
Currently, nobody's claiming that the team face relegation now. But the manager will be eager to avoid making that bit of the past. The team need to bring their domestic and European campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. So, forecasting this match is particularly challenging.
