Pre-Match Context
Following losing four fixtures back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, with Don Welsh. That campaign ended in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down this season. But the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and Champions League seasons on course quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, forecasting this match proves especially challenging.
This exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. Kickoff is here!
