How the Reds are set up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Match Background
After suffering four games in a row, the Reds are not exactly entering uncharted waters. However, the previous occasion the team lost five consecutive defeats on the bounce was back in the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's implying that Liverpool face relegation now. But the manager is eager to avoid making that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and Champions League seasons on course quickly.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht won against. So, forecasting this game proves particularly challenging.
The exciting fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
