Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager introduced several changes to the starting lineup after the setback to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the key developments, while Wirtz returns 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 starting eleven, together with Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable due to an knock.

Liverpool are set up to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Pre-Match Context

After suffering four matches back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during 1953, with Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.

Now, no one is seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. Yet the manager will be keen to prevent making that piece of the past. Liverpool must get their Premier League and European campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. So, forecasting this game is especially difficult.

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