How the Reds are set up to face Frankfurt 🔴 #UCL
Match Background
After suffering four fixtures back-to-back, the Reds aren't quite entering unknown territory. But, the previous occasion the team lost five losses on the bounce was back in 1953, under Don Welsh. That season ended in relegation from the first division.
Currently, no one is seriously suggesting that the team face relegation now. But the manager is keen to avoid repeating that bit of the past. The team must get their domestic and European seasons moving positively quickly.
Eintracht Frankfurt's first two matches in this year's tournament both ended 5-1—a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid. The Reds, meanwhile, have defeated the side Eintracht were beaten by, and lost to the team they won against. Therefore, predicting this game is particularly difficult.
This unpredictable action starts at 8 p.m. BST. Kickoff is here!
