Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Fixture
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager introduced several adjustments to the starting XI following the setback to Manchester United over the weekend. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the major developments, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them added energy as replacements in the recent fixture—are also included in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds will start to face Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
Following losing four games in a row, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five losses on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet the manager will be keen to avoid repeating that bit of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns on course quickly.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this match proves especially difficult.
This exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
