Liverpool travel to Istanbul tonight aiming to claim their first away win against Galatasaray and give manager Arne Slot a record victory in his 100th game in charge.
The Reds have reached the knockout stages with a strong away record, having won nine of their last 11 away games in European competition. Manager Arne Slot oversaw a morale-boosting FA Cup victory on Friday, and his team are now looking to avenge a league stage defeat at this very stadium. Liverpool have never won in their three previous trips to face Galatasaray, drawing once and losing twice.

Liverpool team news
Arne Slot will have to manage his team without Alisson Becker, who missed the trip due to an injury in training. Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected to replace the goalkeeper in this high-risk match. Federico Chiesa is also absent due to illness. Consequently, Slot has named a 21-man squad for the match at RAMS Park. Notably, Mohamed Salah is just one appearance away from breaking Jamie Carragher’s Champions League appearance record for the club. Salah is also 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 consisting of Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk. In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister will provide the engine room. Dominik Szoboszlai could play at right back or in his preferred midfield position. Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong remain the likely options for the full-back positions. It should be noted that Dominik Szoboszlai has been directly involved in eight Champions League goals this season. He could become the first Liverpool player to score or assist in seven consecutive games in the competition.
Liverpool’s predicted lineup
