Liverpool has named a 22-man traveling party that will head to Fenerbahce this week in the Champions League, with Andoni Iraola's side looking to maintain its 100 per cent record in the competition.
So far, the Reds have beaten Atletico Madrid, LASK and Villarreal with relative ease. After Fenerbahce, it still has matches against Club Brugge, FC Porto, Inter Milan and Lens to come.
Last time out in the Champions League, Iraola started Lewis Koumas up top in place of Alexander Isak. Kostas Tsimikas and Ryan Gravenberch were also among those to come into the line-up, while Florian Wirtz came on at half-time.
This time, however, Gravenberch has missed out because of a heel injury. The Dutchman is remaining on Merseyside for treatment on the issue, with Iraola expected to offer an update in his press conference later today.
Liverpool squad in full: Alisson, Gomez, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Isak, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Tsimikas, Munoz, Mamardashvili, Woodman, Barcola, Araujo, Nyoni, Chambers, McConnell, Koumas, Ngumoha, Danns.
Liverpool.com says: Making changes for this game would appear to be sensible. Liverpool will want to win, but it is far from the most important game of the week.
Given that the Reds have already won nine points from nine in Europe this season, there is a margin for error. Finishing in the top eight should be comfortable enough even if Liverpool is beaten here.
