We go into the tie in great form, unbeaten since the turn of the year and head to Turkey with a 1-0 lead against Slaven Bilic’s side.

Despite a number of key players potentially missing the tie in Philippe Coutinho, Jordan Henderson, Mahmadou Sakho, Steven Gerrard and Lucas, the Reds should be confident of a victory.

Given the pace of our forwards and wingers in the side, you’d expect Daniel Sturridge, Jordan Ibe and Raheem Sterling to have a field day.
