Frankfurt Faces Liverpool in UCL Match
Match Coverage
Arne Slot introduced five adjustments to the starting XI following the setback to Manchester United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah starting on the bench is one of the key changes, while Florian Wirtz returns to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the previous match—are also named in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is absent because of an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
After suffering four matches in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's claiming that the team are going down now. Yet the manager will be eager to avoid making that piece of the past. Liverpool must get their domestic and European campaigns back on track quickly.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. Therefore, predicting this game is particularly difficult.
