Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager implemented several adjustments to the starting lineup after the loss to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the major changes, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—each of them made a difference as replacements in the last game—are also included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, while Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context
Following losing four fixtures consecutively, the Reds are not exactly entering unknown territory. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five losses on the bounce was during 1953, under Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet the manager is keen to avoid making that piece of the past. Liverpool must get their Premier League and European seasons on course quickly.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves especially challenging.
