Match Background
Following losing four games in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team lost five defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. That campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.
Now, no one is claiming that the team are going down this season. Yet the manager will be keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. Liverpool need to bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns back on track as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. So, predicting this game is particularly difficult.
The unpredictable fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
