Liverpool has discovered the time and date it will face Galatasaray in the Champions League last-16.
Uefa confirmed after Friday's draw, which paired the English and Turkish champions together in the knockout stages, that exact schedule would follow shortly, and an update emerged around three hours later.
Uefa has confirmed Liverpool will travel to Galatasaray on March 10, with a kick-off time of 17:45 GMT (10:45 ET, 07:45 PT). The second leg will be played at Anfield on March 18, with a kick-off time of 20:00 GMT (15:00 ET, 10:00 PT).
The earlier kick-off in the first leg is not a surprise, with matches in Turkey and eastern Europe typically moved forward due to the time delay. Liverpool's first leg in Istanbul will kick off at 7:45pm local time.
The Reds have already played in the Turkish capital before this season, and lost 1-0 at Rams Park in September.
That result came in a run of six loses in seven, and Arne Slot will hope that given the improvements since then, his side can return with a better result this time around.
Okan Buruk's side progressed to the last-16 in unconvincing circumstances. It beat Liverpool, Bodo/Glimt and Ajax in the league phase but lost to Eintracht Frankfurt, Union Saint-Gilloise, Monaco and Manchester City.
