Match Background
After losing four matches in a row, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the team lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was back in 1953, with manager Don Welsh. That season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Now, no one is seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down now. Yet the manager is keen to prevent making that bit of history. Liverpool must get their Premier League and Champions League seasons moving positively quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves particularly difficult.
The exciting action starts at 20:00 GMT. Let's go!
