Liverpool are set up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

Following losing four matches in a row, the Reds aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during 1953, with manager Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the first division.

Currently, no one is implying that the team face relegation now. But the manager is eager to prevent repeating that piece of history. Liverpool need to bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns on course quickly.

Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's tournament finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. So, predicting this game is particularly difficult.

The unpredictable action begins at 20:00 GMT. It's on!
