Pre-Match Context
After suffering four games in a row, the Reds are not exactly entering uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive defeats in a row was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's implying that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet the manager is keen to avoid making that bit of the past. The team need to bring their domestic and European campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season'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 lost to, and been defeated by the one they beat. Therefore, forecasting this match is especially difficult.
The unpredictable fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
