Fenerbahce vs Liverpool LIVE: Champions League clash updates

Liverpool travel to the Chobani Stadium this evening to face Fenerbahce in the Champions League, looking to make it four wins from four in the league phase. Kick-off is at 5.45pm UK time.

The Reds have won all three of their opening group matches, beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 and Villarreal 4-3 at home either side of a 6-3 victory away to Austrian Bundesliga champions LASK.

Fenerbahce's Struggles and Manager Change

Fenerbahce have drawn two and lost one of their opening three Champions League matches, including a 6-0 defeat at Aston Villa. Domestically, they have lost four times in the Turkish Super Lig.

That poor form led to Ismail Karal resigning last week. The hosts will be under the command of his assistant, former Liverpool player Dirk Kuyt, for this match.

A win would move Liverpool level on points with league phase leaders Paris Saint-Germain, who beat Villarreal 6-0 last night. Bet365 list Liverpool as 1/2 favourites, with Fenerbahce at 9/2 and the draw at 4/1.

Earlier today, Liverpool Under-19s beat Fenerbahce 5-3 in the UEFA Youth League at Pendik Stadium, with Will Wright scoring a second hat-trick in the competition.
