Off the back of Saturday’s shock defeat to Crystal Palace, Liverpool fans will be hoping for a positive reaction from Arne Slot’s side against Galatasaray.
The Dutchman is expected to make a number of changes to his starting lineup as he continues to juggle both form and fitness.
Liverpool started their Champions League campaign with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid at Anfield. Their opponents had a disappointing start to their European journey as Eintracht Frankfurt comfortably beat them 5-1.
For Liverpool, Hugo Ekitike is available after being suspended for Saturday’s defeat. However, Federico Chiesa and Jayden Danns have not travelled with the squad due to a minor fitness issue.
A number of familiar names will be on display for Galatasaray tonight with former Man City duo Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane in the squad.
