Pre-Match Context
After losing four matches in a row, the Reds are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the club suffered five consecutive defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in the drop from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation now. But the manager is eager to avoid repeating that piece of history. The team must bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team they won against. Therefore, forecasting this match is especially difficult.
The unpredictable fun begins at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
