Andoni Iraolas side travel to Istanbul on Wednesday evening to face a Fenerbahe team now led by former Anfield favourite Dirk Kuyt, three days after a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.Kurt had been working as assistant manager, but he was handed the reins on an interim basis after smail Kartal stepped down following a 2-1 derby defeat to Galatasaray. Fenerbahe have said Kuyt will remain in charge until a new head coach is appointed.He is fondly remembered on Merseyside. Kuyt scored 71 goals in 285 appearances over six years at Liverpool, played in the 2007 Champions League final against AC Milan and won the League Cup in 2012. He also knows Fenerbahe well, having won the Sper Lig title with them as a player in 2014.His first game in charge did not go to plan. Fenerbahe lost 2-1 at home to Gztepe on Saturday, leaving them sixth in the Sper Lig and nine points behind Galatasaray. Kuyt apologised to the supporters afterwards. I apologise to the Fenerbahe fans, they deserve better, he said. At times, we can be very fragile.Things are no better in Europe. Fenerbahe are 31st in the 36-team table, with just two points from three games. They drew with Roma and Slavia Prague, but were thrashed 6-0 by Aston Villa, and they have conceded nine goals in the competition, joint-most of any team. They have won only one of their last five matches in all competitions.Liverpool, by contrast, have a perfect record in the Champions League. They have won all three of their league-phase games, against Atltico Madrid, LASK and Villarreal, and they sit in the top four. They have not been watertight, though. They have conceded seven goals in those three games, and their last two Champions League matches produced 16 goals, with a 6-3 win in Austria followed by a 4-3 comeback victory over Villarreal.Sundays defeat at Anfield ended a run of five games without a loss in all competitions, and Iraola will want a quick reaction.This will be the first time the two clubs have met in European competition.Full updated Champions League table UEFA Champions League 2026 World League Phase #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 3 1 Paris Saint Germain330014599 W W W 2 Aston Villa330012399 W W W 3 Liverpool330012759 W W W 4 Real Madrid330010559 W W W 5 Real Betis33007439 W W W 6 VfB Stuttgart32107257 D W W 7 Arsenal32106247 D W W 8 Barcelona320111656 L W W 9 Como320110556 W L W 10 Manchester City32019546 W L W 11 Club Brugge KV32019636 W W L 12 Sporting CP32017436 L W W 13 Borussia Dortmund32015416 W L W 14 Bayern Mnchen312010555 D D W 15 AS Roma31118534 W L D 16 Atletico Madrid31114314 D W L 17 Shakhtar Donetsk31114314 L W D 18 PSV Eindhoven31112204 W L D 19 Villarreal31028803 L W L 20 Inter310256-13 W L L 21 Manchester United310256-13 L L W 22 Napoli310257-23 W L L 23 Galatasaray310269-33 W L L 24 Lask Linz310269-33 W L L 25 Sabah FA310236-33 L W L 26 Feyenoord310248-43 L W L 27 Lens310237-43 L L W 28 Bodo/Glimt310249-53 L W L 29 AEK Athens FC310238-53 L L W 30 RB Leipzig310238-53 L W L 31 Fenerbahe302139-62 D L D 32 Slavia Praha301247-31 D L L 33 Viking301259-41 L D L 34 FC Porto300326-40 L L L 35 Lille3003410-60 L L L 36 Slovan Bratislava3003113-120 L L L Position 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 : Play Offs Fenerbahce vs Liverpool Champions League team newsRyan Gravenberch has been ruled out with a heel problem. The Dutchman joins Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley on the sidelines.Dominik Szoboszlai is back in contention, and with Gravenberch missing, he could play in a deeper role in midfield. Szoboszlai has said he is happy to play wherever Iraola needs him: As a six, getting the ball from Virgil and doing stuff from there. As a 10 I think I can also be dangerous, and as an eight. Wherever he puts me, I try to do my best.Vctor Muoz is pushing for a start ahead of Bradley Barcola or Cody Gakpo, and Iraola could rotate heavily, with this the eighth match in a run of nine games in 29 days. Alexander Isak has six goals in eight games this season, but has yet to score in the Champions League.For Fenerbahe, Nathan Ake is out, as is Marco Asensio while Mason Greenwood is a doubt. Ederson is expected to start in goal against his former Premier League rivals.Fenerbahce vs Liverpool predicted line upsFenerbahce: Ederson, Nelson Semedo, Milan Skriniar, Archie Brown, Yusuf Akcicek, Matteo Guendouzi, NGolo Kante, Mason Greenwood, Kerem Akturkoglu, Oguz Aydin, Vedat MuriqiLiverpool: Alisson Becker, Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas, Trey Nyoni, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola, Alexander IsakFenerbahce vs Liverpool statsThis is the teams first meeting, although Fenerbahce striker Romelu Lukaku is familiar with Liverpool after making 166 appearances for Everton and scoring three Merseyside derby goalsFenerbahces home record against English visitors is W4 D2 L6; they lost their last two1-0 against Aston Villaand3-0 to Nottingham Forest in last seasons UEFA Europa LeagueEderson faced Liverpool in the 2017/18 Champions League quarter-finals as a Manchester City player, his side losing both legs of the tieA 2-1 win at Forest in last seasons Europa League knockout phase play-off second legis one of two victories in Fenerbahces last 12 games against Premier League opponents, home and away (D2 L8)A 6-0 loss at Aston Villa on Matchday 2 this season Fenerbahces heaviest European defeat since 1992 extended the Turkish teams run without a clean sheet against English opposition to nine gamesA 4-0 home win against Galatasaray in last seasons round of 16 second leg(4-1 aggregate) ended Liverpools three-game losing run against clubs from TurkiyeThe Reds have lost their last three away games against Turkish opposition, all 1-0 atBesiktas in February 2015and Galatasaray inSeptember 2025andMarch 2026Liverpool have won one of their eight away matches against Turkish clubs (D1 L6),2-1 at Trabzonspor in the 2010/11 Europa League play-off round, and have not kept a clean sheetNone of Liverpools last 46 European matches has been drawn (W32 L14).

Liverpool know another win would put them in a great position to qualify and, potentially, rest players towards the end of the league phase.
