Match Background

After suffering four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the last time the club lost five defeats on the bounce was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the top flight.

Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down now. But the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that bit of the past. The team need to get their domestic and Champions League seasons on course quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the one Eintracht beat. Therefore, predicting this game proves especially challenging.

The unpredictable fun begins at 8pm UK time. Let's go!
