Frankfurt Battles The Reds in Champions League Match
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made five changes to the starting XI after the setback to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is among the key surprises, while Florian Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them added energy as replacements in the previous match—have been named in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

Pre-Match Context
Following losing four matches consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite entering uncharted waters. However, the last time the team suffered five consecutive losses in a row was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the top flight.
Now, nobody's implying that the team are going down now. Yet the manager is eager to prevent repeating that piece of the past. The team need to bring their Premier League and European campaigns on course quickly.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the one they won against. Therefore, predicting this match is especially challenging.
The unpredictable action starts at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
