Liverpool line up to take on Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Preamble
Following suffering four fixtures consecutively, the Reds are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive losses in a row was during 1953, under Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool are going down now. Yet Arne Slot is keen to avoid making that piece of history. Liverpool must bring their domestic and Champions League seasons on course quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, forecasting this game is particularly difficult.
The exciting action begins at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
