Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in UCL Clash

Game Highlights

Arne Slot introduced several changes to the starting XI following the setback to United on Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is among the significant developments, while Florian Wirtz returns to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the last game—are also included in the lineup, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Alexis Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Gravenberch is absent because of an knock.

Pre-Match Context

After losing four fixtures in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering unknown territory. But, the last time the team suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the first division.

Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that the team are going down now. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to avoid making that piece of the past. The team need to get their Premier League and European seasons back on track as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament finished 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one they won against. So, predicting this match is especially difficult.

This exciting action starts at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
