Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in Champions League Match

Live Updates

Arne Slot implemented several adjustments to the first eleven after the setback to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is among the significant surprises, while Florian Wirtz is back to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the previous match—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is unavailable because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context

After losing four matches back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the club lost five defeats on the bounce was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in the drop from the top flight.

Now, no one is implying that Liverpool are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to prevent repeating that piece of the past. Liverpool must bring their domestic and European campaigns on course quickly.

Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team they beat. So, forecasting this match is particularly challenging.

This exciting action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
