Liverpool are set up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL

Preamble

Following losing four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds are not exactly entering unknown territory. However, the last time the team suffered five consecutive losses in a row was back in the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the old First Division.

Currently, no one is implying that the team face relegation this season. Yet Arne Slot is keen to prevent making that piece of history. Liverpool need to get their Premier League and European seasons moving positively as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's tournament both ended 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 side Frankfurt were beaten by, and lost to the team Eintracht won against. So, predicting this match is especially challenging.

The unpredictable action starts at 8 p.m. BST. Let's go!
