Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in UCL Fixture
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made five alterations to the first eleven after the setback to United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the major changes, while Florian Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as replacements in the last game—have been named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
Following suffering four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down now. Yet Arne Slot is eager to prevent repeating 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 tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves particularly challenging.
The exciting fun begins at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
