Match Background
After losing four matches consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering uncharted waters. But, the last time the club lost five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team face relegation now. Yet the manager is eager to prevent making that piece of history. The team need to bring their domestic and European campaigns on course quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the one they beat. Therefore, forecasting this game proves particularly difficult.
The unpredictable action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
