Liverpool line up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Pre-Match Context

Following suffering four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. But, the last time the club suffered five defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the old First Division.

Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation this season. But Arne Slot is eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. Liverpool must bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns back on track quickly.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they won against. Therefore, predicting this match proves especially difficult.

The unpredictable fun starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
