Liverpool will start to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Preamble
After losing four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unknown territory. But, the last time the club lost five defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That campaign resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Now, no one is implying that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet the manager is eager to avoid repeating that bit of history. Liverpool must get their domestic and European campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the side Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves especially challenging.
The unpredictable fun starts at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
