How the Reds line up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Pre-Match Context

After losing four games back-to-back, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team lost five losses in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the old First Division.

Now, no one is seriously suggesting that the team face relegation this season. Yet the manager will be keen to avoid making that bit of history. The team need to bring their Premier League and Champions League campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.

Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. Therefore, forecasting this game proves especially difficult.

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