Liverpool are set up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Preamble
After losing four fixtures in a row, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unfamiliar ground. But, the last time the club suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This campaign ended in relegation from the top flight.
Currently, no one is implying that the team face relegation now. Yet Arne Slot is eager to prevent repeating that piece of the past. The team need to bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns moving positively as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's competition finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Frankfurt were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they won against. So, forecasting this match is particularly difficult.
The exciting action begins at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
