Liverpool will look to build upon their perfect start to this season’s Champions League when they travel to Turkish Champions Galatasaray for their next match.
Arne Slot’s side left it late against Atletico Madrid to win their Champions League opener 3-2 thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s late winner. However, they saw their unbeaten start to the campaign come to an end at the hands of Crystal Palace in their previous Premier League match with a 2-1 loss.
On the other hand, Galatasaray’s Champions League started with a 5-1 thumping at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt. Since then, they have won their next two games in the Super Lig and come into this game in the hopes of making a statement against Liverpool.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
