Liverpool will start to face Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Match Background

Following losing four fixtures in a row, the Reds aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team lost five consecutive defeats in a row was back in the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the top flight.

Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation now. But Arne Slot is keen to prevent repeating that piece of the past. The team must get their domestic and European campaigns back on track quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they won against. So, forecasting this match proves especially difficult.

This unpredictable fun starts at 8pm UK time. It's on!
