Liverpool's manager introduced five changes to the starting lineup following the setback to Manchester United on Sunday. Salah starting on the bench is one of the major surprises, while Wirtz is back to the starting side. Hugo Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the previous match—have been named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle issue.
Liverpool line up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
After suffering four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. But, the last time the team lost five losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the first division.
Now, no one is implying that the team are going down this season. Yet the manager is eager to avoid repeating that piece of the past. The team must get their domestic and Champions League seasons on course quickly.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves especially challenging.
The exciting fun begins at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
