How the Reds are set up to take on Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Pre-Match Context
After losing four games consecutively, the Reds aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the team suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during the 1950s, with manager Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's implying that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot will be keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. The team must bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns back on track quickly.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament both ended with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have beaten the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. So, forecasting this match proves especially challenging.
This exciting action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
