Liverpool will start to play against Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Pre-Match Context
Following losing four matches consecutively, Liverpool aren't quite entering unknown territory. But, the last time the club lost five consecutive losses on the bounce was during 1953, under Don Welsh. This campaign ended in the drop from the first division.
Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation now. But the manager will be keen to prevent making that bit of history. The team must get their domestic and European seasons back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's competition finished with a 5-1 scoreline—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have defeated the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team Eintracht beat. So, predicting this match proves particularly difficult.
The exciting fun begins at 8pm UK time. Kickoff is here!
