Pre-Match Context
Following losing four matches consecutively, the Reds aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five defeats on the bounce was during 1953, under Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the old First Division.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. Liverpool must get their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they beat. So, predicting this game is particularly challenging.
The unpredictable action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
