How the Reds are set up to take on Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Pre-Match Context
Following losing four fixtures in a row, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards uncharted waters. However, the last time the club suffered five consecutive losses in a row was back in 1953, under manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the old First Division.
Currently, nobody's implying that the team face relegation this season. But the manager will be keen to avoid repeating that bit of history. Liverpool need to bring their Premier League and Champions League seasons moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's tournament both ended 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the side Frankfurt lost to, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves especially challenging.
This exciting fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
