Live Updates

Pre-Match Context
After losing four fixtures consecutively, Liverpool are not exactly entering unfamiliar ground. However, the previous occasion the club lost five consecutive defeats in a row was during 1953, under manager Don Welsh. This season ended in the drop from the top flight.
Currently, nobody's claiming that Liverpool face relegation now. But the manager is keen to prevent repeating that bit of history. The team must bring their domestic and Champions League campaigns on course quickly.
Frankfurt's initial matches in this season's competition finished 5-1—a victory at home over their opponents and an loss on the road at Madrid. Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this game is particularly difficult.
