Liverpool will entertain Fenerbahce at the Chobani Stadium Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Sports Complex this Wednesday night as they look to secure a good result on the road in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds suffered a narrow 1-0 loss at the hands of Arsenal recently, so they would be eager to get back to winning ways in midweek.
Andoni Iraola will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first XI for this game. Rio Ngumoha, Ryan Gravenberch and Lewis Koumas could all play from the start of this contest.
Alisson Becker will feature in between the sticks for the Reds after conceding one goal in his last outing. Jeremy Jacquet will operate alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the centre of the Liverpool backline as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.
Ronald Araujo will be a nailed-on starter at right-back, while Kostas Tsimikas hopes to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent's half.
Joe Gomez will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch will anchor the midfield for the Merseyside giants as they look to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz and Rio Ngumoha will play just ahead of them as part of Iraola's attack. All three of them need to combine well if the Reds are to secure a good result on the road in midweek.
Victor Munoz and Cody Gakpo will be available for selection on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.
Lewis Koumas will spearhead Liverpool's attack up top. He has to figure out a way to be a real threat on the offensive end of the field.
Alexander Isak will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if the Reds are in need of a goal by then.
