Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in Champions League Clash
Game Highlights
Arne Slot has made several adjustments to the first eleven after the setback to Manchester United on Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is one of the key changes, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as substitutes in the last game—have been included in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds are set up to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
After losing four matches in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering unknown territory. But, the last time the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during 1953, with Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team face relegation this season. But Arne Slot will be keen to avoid repeating that piece of history. The team need to get their domestic and Champions League seasons on course quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they beat. Therefore, predicting this match proves particularly challenging.
