Frankfurt Takes On The Reds in UCL Match

Match Coverage

Liverpool's manager has made five alterations to the starting XI after the setback to United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is among the key changes, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them made a difference as replacements in the last game—are also included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an knock.

Pre-Match Context

After suffering four matches in a row, Liverpool are not exactly entering uncharted waters. However, the last time the club lost five losses in a row was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the old First Division.

Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet the manager will be keen to prevent repeating that piece of history. The team must bring their Premier League and European seasons moving positively as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match is particularly difficult.
