Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Clash
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager introduced five adjustments to the first eleven after the loss to United over the weekend. Salah starting on the bench is one of the key developments, while Florian Wirtz is back to the lineup. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the last game—are also named in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Gravenberch is absent because of an knock.

Match Background
Following losing four games back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the club lost five consecutive losses in a row was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, no one is implying that Liverpool are going down now. But the manager will be keen to avoid making that bit of the past. The team need to bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition finished 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. So, predicting this game is especially difficult.
