Liverpool's manager implemented multiple adjustments to the starting lineup after the loss to Manchester United last Sunday.

How the Reds are set up to take on Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Match Background

After losing four fixtures consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the old First Division.

Now, no one is implying that Liverpool are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. Liverpool need to bring their domestic and Champions League seasons moving positively 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 Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. So, predicting this game proves especially difficult.
