"Liverpool are now ready to turn the page on their first competitive defeat of the young season when they make the long journey to Istanbul to face Turkish giants Galatasaray in the Champions League. It will be a near full strength Reds side as we also see the return of Hugo Ekitike following his suspension from a red card picked up midweek in the Carabao Cup win. Arne Slot will have a test on his hands to see who starts in the attack."

Let's see how Liverpool could lineup in the Champions League match versus Galatasaray. Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker Defenders: Jeremie Frimpong, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson Midfielders: Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz Forwards: Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo"
