Live Updates
Liverpool's manager implemented multiple alterations to the starting lineup after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday. Salah not in the lineup is among the key surprises, while Wirtz is back to the lineup. Hugo Ekitike, Jones, and Jeremie Frimpong—all of whom added energy as replacements in the last game—are also included in the starting eleven, together with Andy Robertson. Kerkez, Bradley, and Mac Allister drop to the substitutes' bench, while Ryan Gravenberch is absent due to an ankle injury.

How the Reds line up to take on Frankfurt đź”´ #UCL
Preamble
Following losing four games in a row, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Currently, no one is implying that the team are going down now. Yet Arne Slot is keen to avoid making that bit of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns back on track quickly.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. So, forecasting this match proves especially difficult.
The exciting fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
