Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in UCL Clash

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager introduced several changes to the starting lineup following the setback to Manchester United over the weekend. Salah being dropped is among the major surprises, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as replacements in the last game—are also named in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Liverpool line up to face Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Preamble

Following losing four games in a row, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the first division.

Now, no one is implying that the team face relegation now. Yet the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that piece of the past. The team must bring their domestic and European seasons moving positively quickly.

Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the one they won against. So, forecasting this match proves particularly challenging.

The exciting action starts at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
