Liverpool visit Fenerbahçe seeking a fourth straight Champions League win

Liverpool visit Fenerbahçe seeking a fourth straight Champions League win

Liverpool visit Fenerbahçe in Istanbul on Wednesday for the fourth matchday of the Champions League league phase.

Liverpool have won all three of their opening games and have scored 12 goals.

Fenerbahçe have two points from three matches and are still looking for their first win in the competition.

The Turkish club have gone nine Champions League matches without a victory, a run that began after their last win in 2008.

Dirk Kuyt is preparing to face his former club as Fenerbahçe’s interim manager; the club has announced Emre Belözoğlu will take over permanently.

Liverpool coach Andoni Iraola says his team must improve their attacking play after failing to record a shot on target in their Premier League defeat by Arsenal.

A win would move Liverpool closer to qualifying for the knockout phase, while Fenerbahçe need a positive result to revive their hopes of progressing.
