Match Background
After losing four fixtures in a row, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the club lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Now, no one is claiming that the team are going down this season. But Arne Slot will be eager to avoid making that bit of history. Liverpool must bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons back on track quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. So, forecasting this game proves especially challenging.
This unpredictable action starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
