Liverpool XI vs Galatasaray – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

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.

Arne Slot must manage his squad without Alisson Becker, who missed the trip due to a training injury. Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected to deputise in goal for this high-stakes encounter. Federico Chiesa is also absent through illness. Consequently, Slot has named a 21-man group for the fixture at RAMS Park. Notably, Mohamed Salah is just one appearance away from breaking Jamie Carragher’s Champions League appearance record for the club. Salah also sits one goal away from becoming the first African player to reach 50 goals in the competition.

Giorgi Mamardashvili will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk. In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister will provide the engine room. Dominik Szoboszlai could feature at right-back or in his preferred midfield role. Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong remain the likely choices for the full-back positions. Notably, Dominik Szoboszlai has been directly involved in eight Champions League goals this term. He could become the first Liverpool player to score or assist in seven successive games in the competition.
