Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match
Live Updates
Liverpool's manager has made five changes to the first eleven after the 2-1 defeat to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is among the key changes, while Florian Wirtz is back to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the recent fixture—are also included in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle injury.

Match Background
Following suffering four matches back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the team suffered five consecutive losses in a row was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet the manager is eager to prevent repeating that piece of history. The team must bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the team they beat. Therefore, forecasting this match is particularly challenging.
The exciting fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
