Pre-Match Context

Following suffering four games in a row, Liverpool aren't quite entering unknown territory. However, the previous occasion the team suffered five consecutive losses on the bounce was during the 1950s, under manager Don Welsh. That season ended in the drop from the first division.

Now, no one is seriously suggesting that the team are going down this season. But the manager will be eager to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team must get their Premier League and Champions League seasons on course quickly.

Eintracht Frankfurt's first two fixtures in this year's competition both ended 5-1—a home win over their opponents and an loss on the road at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool, on the other hand, have defeated the side Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the team they beat. So, predicting this match is especially difficult.
