Preamble
After suffering four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the first division.
Now, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation now. Yet the manager is keen to prevent making that piece of the past. Liverpool must get their domestic and Champions League seasons moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly difficult.
The exciting action begins at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
