Liverpool team news and injury updates
Ryan Gravenberch did not make the 22-man traveling squad due to a heel injury. Andoni Iraola said in his press conference that Trey Nyoni has been playing well so he will pick up those minutes in the midfield. Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike and Giovanni Leoni remained sidelined with longer-term injuries.
“He is playing most of the games – or even all the games lately – so we trust him,” Iraola said of Nyoni “He is doing very well and I think we have to encourage him to continue – to continue improving, continue learning, continue adding experience. He is in a very good place.”

Opposition scout
Fenerbahce is near the bottom of the League Phase in 31st place with one loss and two draws. Even so, Iraola says Fenerbahce can still be dangerous.
“Fenerbahce is a team that has very good players,” he said. “In the midfield they have a very good technical level.
If we allow them a lot of time on the ball or we don’t press them properly, we are going to suffer. I think we have to be good in our press, I think we have to try to control the game, don’t allow them to win confidence, because also they are experienced players, they know how to play these kind of games in this competition. The stronger we start, the less chances we should give to Fenerbahce, because otherwise they are going to be dangerous.”
Specifically, Fenerbahce is led in scoring by Vedat Muriqi with 7 goals in 10 matches. Mason Greenwood is second on the club with four goals. Most of Fenerbahce’s success has come in the Turkish Super League with a 5-4-1 record while they have only scored three goals in Champions League play
Key tactical battle
As Iraola said, Fenerbahce has plenty of midfield talent. Those midfielders include Mattéo Guendouzi, N’Golo Kanté, İsmail Yüksek, and Mert Hakan Yandaş, with Marco Asensio and İrfan Can Kahveci operating in advanced attacking roles. Central depth is rounded out by Bartuğ Elmaz and Levent Mercan. That gives Fenerbahce a big advantage in depth with Gravenberch being out and Nyoni such a young player. Hopefully, the Reds can hold their own in the midfield and the advantages elsewhere can make the difference
Head-to-head record and recent meetings
As stated, this is the first meeting between the two clubs, but with the expanded Champions League format, it may not be the last. It’s important for Liverpool to represent not only the club but the EPL well, from the opening kick.
Score prediction and LFC Globe Verdict
If Liverpool can hold serve in the midfield, this should be an easy win. We will see if that prospect changes Iraola’s Starting XI coming off of a tough match vs. Arsenal. Make sure to check out our Projected XI to see our thoughts on the topic. My Prediction: 4-1 Liverpool
