Arne Slot introduced multiple changes to the first eleven following the setback to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is one of the significant developments, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom brought impact as replacements in the previous match—are also included in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.
Liverpool are set up to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Following suffering four fixtures back-to-back, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the first division.
Now, no one is claiming that the team are going down this season. But Arne Slot will be keen to prevent repeating that piece of the past. The team need to get their Premier League and European seasons moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. Therefore, forecasting this game is especially challenging.
This exciting action starts at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
