Pre-Match Context
Following suffering four fixtures in a row, Liverpool aren't quite heading towards unknown territory. But, the previous occasion the club suffered five consecutive defeats on the bounce was during the 1950s, with Don Welsh. This campaign ended in the drop from the first division.
Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool face relegation now. But Arne Slot is eager to avoid making that piece of history. The team must get their domestic and European seasons moving positively quickly.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's competition 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 defeated the side Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the one they won against. Therefore, forecasting this game proves particularly challenging.
This unpredictable fun begins at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
