Can Liverpool reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in four years? To do so, the Reds must claw back a 1-0 deficit from the first leg against Galatasaray. Read our match prediction below.
Liverpool lost in the last 16 last season and won't want to repeat that this term. The winners of this tie will be up against either Chelsea or cup holders PSG with the French club 5-2 up from their home leg. Liverpool were held to a home 1-1 draw by Spurs at the weekend and made some rather interesting team selections that showed just how important this game is to the club.
Galatasaray have already beaten Liverpool twice this season. However, both results were earned on home soil. The Lions will be attempting to reach the last eight of the UCL for the first time since the 2012-13 season. Their main concern is that form on the road in Europe this season hasn't been that impressive and a tough night at Anfield awaits them.

Liverpool - Galatasaray: Form Analysis
Liverpool finished third in the league phase, 17 places ahead of Galatasaray. However, league positions don't really mean a great deal as was shown last season. Then the Reds finished top of the table but made their exit in the last 16.
They will definitely want to avoid doing that again this term. They have won three of their home UCL matches this season, including wins over both the Madrid clubs. However, they did also lose 4-1 to PSV when going through a poor run of form.
The weekend saw them held to a 1-1 draw by Tottenham, conceding a late goal. They have work to do to qualify for next season's Champions League. Liverpool have only won one of their last four games but two were played away from home.
At Anfield, Liverpool have won four of their last six games. Only one has been lost to Manchester City.
Galatasaray must improve their away form.
Galatasaray lead 1-0 from the first leg but can they hold onto that lead away from home? In the league phase, they won at Ajax but lost the other three, including a 2-0 loss at Manchester City and being beaten 5-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
In the Knockout Play-off round, the Yellow-Reds beat Juventus 5-2 at home in the first leg but still had to go to extra time in Italy, eventually losing the game 3-2 but winning the tie 7-5 on aggregate.

Liverpool & Galatasaray Squad Analysis
This game means so much to Liverpool and their team selection at the weekend proved that. Ekitike and Salah were both started on the bench and didn't come on until the second half. We can expect both to be on right from the start here.
They have no new major injury problems for this game, with players like Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni still recovering from their long-term ailments. An early goal for Liverpool would be perfect for the Reds. If that does come, they will need to press on and go for a second, something they tend not always to do.
Can Wirtz score again at Anfield?
If no early goal is scored, the home side will need to be patient. They will look for goals from Florian Wirtz. Of his six goals this season, five of them have been scored at Anfield.
Galatasaray would have wanted a larger lead to take to Anfield. They struggled to hold onto a three-goal lead at Juventus in the last round.
Davinson Sanchez will miss this match due to suspension. In attack, all eyes will be on superstar striker Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian international has been prolific for Cimbom since arriving in Turkey, firing in 56 goals in 69 appearances across all competitions for the club.
