Lineup Announcement

Liverpool line up to take on Eintracht Frankfurt 🔴 #ChampionsLeague

Preamble

After losing four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly heading towards unknown territory. But, the previous occasion the club lost five losses in a row was during the 1950s, under Don Welsh. This season resulted in the drop from the first division.

Now, nobody's seriously suggesting that Liverpool are going down now. But Arne Slot is eager to avoid repeating that piece of history. Liverpool must bring their domestic and Champions League seasons back on track as soon as possible.

Frankfurt's initial fixtures in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and been defeated by the one they won against. Therefore, predicting this game proves particularly difficult.

The exciting fun starts at 8 p.m. BST. It's on!
