Liverpool travel to Istanbul on Tuesday for their second Champions League fixture, aiming for an immediate response to their first defeat of the season.
A disappointing 2-1 loss away at Crystal Palace at the weekend has raised questions about their defence, and a strong performance is needed against the Turkish champions.
Despite the weekend setback, the Reds’ record in this stage of the competition is exceptional. They have won 13 of their last 14 group/league phase matches and have not failed to score in such a game since November 2020. Manager Arne Slot will be demanding his side maintain those high standards at the intimidating RAMS Park.
Liverpool XI vs Galatasaray – Predicted lineup and team news
Liverpool team news
Arne Slot has a near full-strength squad to choose from and may make some changes after the weekend defeat. Ibrahima Konate, though struggling for his best form, is expected to partner Virgil van Dijk in central defence. In midfield, Curtis Jones is pushing for a start, potentially ahead of Alexis Mac Allister.

The attack will be boosted by the return of Hugo Ekitike from suspension. He is expected to start, as Alexander Isak is unlikely to be ready for two games in four days. Mohamed Salah, who is chasing his 50th Champions League goal, will start on the right wing.
