Liverpool returns to Galatasaray for the second time this season in the Champions League, with the competition now at the last-16 stage and Arne Slot's men looking to avenge a 1-0 defeat in Turkiye last time out.
Victor Osimhen scored the only goal of the game in September but the Reds are a different outfit now, with ambitions of going far in Europe.
In recent weeks, they have generally looked better — and that has long been the case in the Champions League relative to the Premier League, where there tends to be more space to work in.
The winners of this tie will take on either PSG or Chelsea next, and the game at Anfield is second as a result of Liverpool being an automatic qualifier having finished third in the league phase.
Alisson Becker is injured and so Giorgi Mamardashvili will start, but Florian Wirtz is back available again and Hugo Ekitike should be refreshed after getting a rest in Friday's victory at Wolves.

Don't forget, it's an earlier kick-off than usual today! The Reds are in action at 17.45 UK time (12.45 ET). That means we will have teams news confirmed in around 45 minutes.
I'm expecting to see Florian Wirtz in the starting XI. Giorgi Mamardashvili will come in for the injured Alisson Becker, while Jeremie Frimpong could return to the team from the off too.
