Pre-Match Context

After suffering four matches consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the team lost five defeats in a row was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the first division.

Now, no one is seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. But the manager will be eager to avoid making that piece of the past. Liverpool must get their Premier League and Champions League campaigns back on track quickly.

Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's tournament finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, forecasting this game is especially difficult.

This exciting action starts at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
