Match Background
Following losing four fixtures consecutively, the Reds aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Currently, nobody's claiming that Liverpool are going down this season. Yet the manager will be keen to avoid making that bit of the past. Liverpool need to get their domestic and Champions League campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's competition both ended 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team they won against. So, predicting this game is especially difficult.
This unpredictable fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
