How the Reds are set up to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Pre-Match Context

Following losing four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly heading towards uncharted waters. But, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the first division.

Currently, no one is claiming that the team are going down this season. Yet the manager is eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team must get their Premier League and Champions League seasons moving positively as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they beat. So, forecasting this game proves especially challenging.

This unpredictable action starts at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
