Liverpool travel to Istanbul today evening, aiming to secure their first-ever away victory against Galatasaray and hand manager Arne Slot a record-breaking win in his 100th game in charge.
The Reds have moved into the knockout stages with a strong away record, having won nine of their last 11 road fixtures in European competition. Manager Arne Slot oversaw a morale-boosting FA Cup win on Friday, and his side now looks to avenge a league-phase defeat in this same stadium. Liverpool have never won in their three previous trips to face Galatasaray, drawing once and losing twice.
Liverpool team news
Arne Slot manages a squad bolstered by a significant creative return but missing several senior figures. Florian Wirtz made his comeback from a back injury as a substitute against Wolves and is pushing for a start tonight. Slot may shift Wirtz out wide to accommodate Dominik Szoboszlai in the number 10 role. Mohamed Salah is just one appearance away from overtaking Jamie Carragher to become Liverpool’s all-time record appearance maker in the Champions League with 81 games. Salah is also one goal away from becoming the first African player to reach 50 goals in the competition.
Alisson Becker will start in goal, with Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk returning to anchor the defence. In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch is expected to partner Alexis Mac Allister, provided the latter recovers from a knock sustained at the weekend. Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong will provide the width from full-back roles. Dominik Szoboszlai has been directly involved in eight Champions League goals this term; he could become the first Liverpool player ever to score or assist in seven successive games in the competition tonight.
