Live Updates
Arne Slot implemented multiple adjustments to the starting lineup after the loss to Manchester United on Sunday. Mohamed Salah being dropped is one of the key surprises, while Wirtz returns to the first team. Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as substitutes in the previous match—have been named in the lineup, along with Robertson. Kerkez, Conor Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the bench, and Gravenberch is absent because of an knock.

Liverpool line up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Match Background
Following losing four matches in a row, Liverpool are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team lost five defeats in a row was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the top flight.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that the team face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to avoid repeating that piece of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and European seasons back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. So, forecasting this game is particularly difficult.
