Lineup Announcement
Liverpool will start to play against Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Match Background
After suffering four matches back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite heading towards unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the club suffered five losses in a row was back in 1953, with Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the top flight.
Now, no one is claiming that Liverpool face relegation this season. Yet the manager will be keen to prevent repeating that piece of the past. Liverpool need to bring their Premier League and European seasons on course quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's initial matches in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. Therefore, forecasting this match is especially challenging.
The exciting fun starts at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
