Match Background
Following suffering four fixtures in a row, the Reds are not exactly entering uncharted waters. But, the last time the club suffered five consecutive defeats in a row was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This season resulted in relegation from the first division.
Currently, nobody's claiming that the team face relegation this season. But Arne Slot is eager to prevent repeating that bit of the past. Liverpool need to get their Premier League and Champions League campaigns on course as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this season's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. The Reds, on the other hand, have defeated the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team Eintracht won against. Therefore, forecasting this game proves particularly challenging.
