Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in UCL Match

Game Highlights

Arne Slot introduced multiple alterations to the starting lineup after the loss to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is among the key developments, while Wirtz is back to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the last game—are also named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds are set up to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Pre-Match Context

After suffering four games back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly entering uncharted waters. However, the last time the team lost five losses in a row was back in 1953, with manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the first division.

Now, no one is implying that the team are going down now. But the manager will be eager to avoid making that bit of history. The team need to get their domestic 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 loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one they won against. Therefore, predicting this match proves especially challenging.

This unpredictable fun starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
