Liverpool line up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague
Preamble
Following losing four fixtures consecutively, the Reds are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the previous occasion the club lost five losses on the bounce was back in the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This campaign resulted in relegation from the old First Division.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. But the manager is eager to prevent making that bit of history. The team need to get their Premier League and Champions League campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament finished 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the side Frankfurt lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match proves especially challenging.
The exciting action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
