Fenerbahce v Liverpool: Predicted Lineup & Match Preview

Liverpool look to return to winning ways as they turn their attention back to Champions League football as they travel to the Chobani Stadium to take on Fenerbahçe in a tough away day for Andoni Iraola's side.

But given the limited number of days between finishing their game against Arsenal on Sunday and playing the Turkish giants on Wednesday, who will the boss deem fit and ready to take the game to their hosts in what will be an intense and heated atmosphere?

The Brazilian made a major error in the Arsenal game, but he made up for it with a brilliant save in the second half to keep the score at just 1-0.

But regardless, he is likely to retain his spot between the sticks for this European fixture.

After being rested last midweek in the Carabao Cup versus Chelsea, Kerkez should be more than capable of playing again and starting for the Reds.

The skipper has been questioned this season so far by some sections of the fanbase, with many wondering whether this may be the beginning of the end of his time at Liverpool.

But he looked strong for large parts of the Arsenal game, and his experience will be needed in such a hostile atmosphere in Turkey.

The French defender has been outstanding since his arrival in the summer, and has more often than not played better than his centre-back partner Virgil van Dijk. 

They say never fall in love with a loan player, but Araujo has made it very difficult for supporters not to, with his performances from his first game to his most recent one.

The passion and willingness to put his body on the line for the club really epitomise everything fans want to see from the players on the pitch.

After coming out at the start of the season expressing his disappointment at not being offered a new contract at the club at the time, he has put in performance after performance that will have certainly made those in charge at Liverpool sit up and take notice.

The Hungarian international made his comeback from injury off the bench on the weekend, playing the last half an hour.

But some have questioned whether or not LFC are a better side with Szoboszlai in it, with many pointing out the fact that Arsenal were able to wrestle back control of the contest after his introduction for Trey Nyoni.

However, he does need more match minutes, and the expectation is that he will get more in this game.

After being taken off for the last 25 minutes in the league last time out, this could be a sign that Iraola plans to start Gakpo against Fenerbahce.

A player who has looked much better in recent weeks, especially playing in the Champions League, Florian Wirtz could be the difference maker in this high-tempo game.

A substitute appearance over the weekend suggested that Iraola was possibly thinking that Ngumoha could impact this game better than against Arsenal. 

And given his sensational individual performance last time out in Europe against Villarreal, who would bet against him?

This game is likely to be high intensity and needs strong pressing from the front in order to catch out a home side under huge pressure from their supporters at the moment, and that is exactly what Koumas would offer this Liverpool team.

Andoni Iraola confirmed in his press conference that Ryan Gravenberch will miss out on this game due to a heel problem that he said the club are monitoring "day to day".

Other than that there are no fresh injury concerns for the Reds to contend with as they look to make it 12 points from 12 in the Champions League.
