After two defeats in a row the meeting with Manchester United is actually the last chance for Bashakshehir to get hold of the group’s advancement. However, it is difficult to demand much from the Turkish club. Bashakshehir takes part in the Champions League group stage for the first time. And then Okan Buruk’s team gets into the company a finalist and a semifinalist of the previous rally, as well as Manchester United, who missed the Champions League. In the first two rounds Basaksehir lost to Leipzig and PSG with the same score 0:2. In the Super League “Bashakshehir” also started disgustingly, but in the last meetings they have improved. This weekend Buruk’s team won away against Konyaspor (2:1) and the previous ones defeated Antalyaspor at home (5:1). Nasser Shadli, Hasan Ali Kaldyrym and Junior Kaisar were injured at Basaksehir. The participation of Enzo Crivelli and Mahmut Tekdemir is questionable.
Despite all the difficulties, Liverpool continue to fight in the Champions League and the Premier League. Alisson Becker has already returned to the gates of the red, which makes it easier for Jurgen Klopp’s charges. However, Lersisides still have a tough time. In fact, only one Joe Gomez remained in the center of defense. Virgil Van Dyck, Joel Matip and even Fabinho, who could replace him, are in the infirmary. Jurgen Klopp has to rely on the players of the academy, alternating at the base of Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips. The first one played recently at an amateur level, whereas the second one was packing his bags to go to study in the USA. Liverpool have played their last three official matches at home. The Merseysides beat West Ham (2:1) at Anfield and Sheffield United (2:1) in the Premier League and Midtjylland (2:0) in the Champions League. In the first round of the Champions League, the Reds beat Ajax away (1:0), but then Fabinho was still playing with Jurgen Klopp’s charges. In the Champions League, Liverpool have not had the best relationship with Italian teams under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp. The Reds lost all three meetings on the road. The Lersisides were upset twice by Napoli (0:1, 0:2) and in another match by Roma (2:4). Virgil Van Dyck, Fabinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are injured at Liverpool. The participation of Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Nabi Keith and Kostas Tsimikas is in question.
