How the Reds will start to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Pre-Match Context
After suffering four fixtures in a row, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the top flight.
Now, nobody's implying that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet the manager is eager to prevent repeating that bit of the past. The team must bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons on course quickly.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this season's tournament finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. So, predicting this match proves especially difficult.
The unpredictable action starts at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
