Liverpool vs Galatasaray LIVE!

Liverpool will be hoping for another memorable Anfield night in the Champions League as they host Galatasaray in the last 16. The Reds trail in the tie after a second 1-0 defeat of the season in Istanbul last week, when Mario Lemina’s early goal sealed victory and Ibrahima Konate’s equaliser was ruled out by VAR. Liverpool lost by the same scoreline to the same opponents during the league phase and the result only served to pile pressure on Arne Slot.

That scrutiny has grown more intense after another lacklustre display against relegation-battling Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday, in which they conceded yet another late goal to draw. Slot could really use a statement comeback this evening to reach the quarter-finals of Europe’s elite club competition, where they would face Paris Saint-Germain after the holders demolished Chelsea.

Liverpool remain without Alexander Isak as Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez, Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike all return. The visitors won well at the weekend to strengthen their lead at the Super Lig summit, though are missing the likes of Davinson Sanchez and will have no fans at Anfield due to a UEFA ban.
