Frankfurt Takes On Liverpool in UCL Clash

Live Updates

Liverpool's manager introduced multiple adjustments to the starting XI after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the key developments, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom made a difference as substitutes in the last game—are also named in the starting eleven, together with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.

How the Reds are set up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

Following suffering four games back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. However, the last time the club suffered five consecutive defeats in a row was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the first division.

Now, nobody's implying that Liverpool face relegation this season. But Arne Slot will be eager to prevent making that bit of history. The team need to get their Premier League and Champions League campaigns on course quickly.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team they beat. So, predicting this game is especially challenging.

The unpredictable fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
