Here\u2019s a sequence Don Welsh\u2019s side put together in the autumn of 1953 \u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>Bolton Wanderers 2-0 Liverpool<br \/>Newcastle United 4-0 Liverpool<br \/>Liverpool 1-5 Preston North End<br \/>Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Liverpool<br \/>Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Liverpool<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u2026 and that\u2019s the last time the Redmen (still wearing white shorts back then, mind) lost five on the bounce. They ended up being relegated from the old First Division in last place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Now, nobody\u2019s seriously suggesting Liverpool are going down this season.<\/strong> But that sequence is a 72-year-old bit of history Arne Slot won\u2019t fancy repeating. Plus his side need to get their Premier League and Champions League campaigns back on track quicksmart \u2026 though exactly what to expect tonight is anyone\u2019s guess: Eintracht Frankfurt\u2019s first two matches in this year\u2019s competition both ended 5-1 \u2013 a home win over Galatasaray and an away defeat at Atletico Madrid \u2013 while Liverpool have beaten the team Eintracht lost to, and lost to the one Eintracht beat. So the rules of the playground are of no use whatsoever here. <strong>The unpredictable fun begins at 8pm UK time.<\/strong> It\u2019s on!<\/p>\n<p>Share<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key events Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Arne Slot finally ditches the starting XI sent out to face both Chelsea and Manchester United in Liverpool\u2019s two previous matches.
