Match Background
After suffering four matches back-to-back, Liverpool are not exactly entering uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive defeats in a row was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in the drop from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down now. Yet Arne Slot is keen to avoid making that bit of the past. Liverpool must bring their domestic and European seasons 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 Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they won against. So, predicting this game proves particularly difficult.
This exciting action starts at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
