Frankfurt Battles Liverpool in Champions League Match
Game Highlights
Liverpool's manager has made several alterations to the starting lineup after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last Sunday. Salah being dropped is among the key developments, while Wirtz returns to the starting side. Ekitike, Curtis Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the previous match—are also included in the lineup, along with Andy Robertson. Milos Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister are on the substitutes' bench, while Gravenberch is unavailable due to an ankle issue.

Pre-Match Context
Following losing four matches back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in relegation from the first division.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team face relegation now. But the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that piece of history. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and European campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament finished 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one they won against. So, predicting this match proves particularly challenging.
