Match Background
After suffering four fixtures in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses in a row was during 1953, under Don Welsh. This season ended in relegation from the top flight.
Now, nobody's claiming that Liverpool are going down this season. Yet Arne Slot will be eager to avoid making that piece of the past. The team must get their Premier League and European seasons back on track as soon as possible.
Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this season's competition finished 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht were beaten by, and been defeated by the team they won against. Therefore, forecasting this game is especially challenging.
