Match Background
After suffering four games in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the club lost five defeats in a row was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the old First Division.
Currently, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation now. But Arne Slot will be keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. Liverpool must bring their Premier League and European seasons moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team Eintracht beat. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly difficult.
The unpredictable action begins at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
