Game Highlights

Arne Slot introduced five alterations to the starting XI following the setback to United last Sunday. Mohamed Salah not in the lineup is one of the significant changes, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Frimpong—each of them added energy as substitutes in the previous match—have been included in the starting eleven, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, and Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle injury.

Pre-Match Context

Following losing four games consecutively, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the last time the team lost five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during 1953, with Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the old First Division.

Now, no one is claiming that the team face relegation now. Yet Arne Slot is eager to avoid repeating that piece of the past. Liverpool must bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one they won against. Therefore, forecasting this game is particularly challenging.
