Galatasaray vs Liverpool preview: Prediction, date, kick-off times, venue, how to watch Champions League match on DAZN
Premier League champions Liverpool got their bid for a seventh European Cup off to a thrilling start last week with a 3-2 home win over Atletico Madrid in Matchday One.
Reds boss Arne Slot spent big in the summer on the likes of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong.
The ambitious spending spree has encouraged hopes at Anfield that Slot's men can go all the way in this season's Champions League.
Galatasaray, in stark contrast, looked anything but title contenders after opening their campaign with a chastening 5-1 thumping at Eintracht Frankfurt last week.
The Turkish giants, whose side included former Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, suffered their first loss since 29 March and the hammering ended their run of 13 successive competitive victories.
A trip to Istanbul for Liverpool supporters will evoke memories of the club's famous 2005 Champions League final win over AC Milan at the Ataturk Stadium, where Rafael Benitez's side famously came back from three goals down to beat the Italians on penalties.
