Liverpool are aiming to bounce back quickly from defeat to Arsenal when they travel to Turkey to face Fenerbahce in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.
The Reds lost 1-0 to the Premier League champions on home soil last weekend, which has potentially put them out of the title race even at this early stage.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahce slumped to a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home to Goztepe in the Super Lig, and are nine points off the pace themselves in their own domestic league.

Liverpool will face a familiar name in the Fenerbahce dugout on Wednesday.
Indeed, Dirk Kuyt is in interim charge of the Turkish giants following Ismail Kartal's resignation.
The Dutchman took charge of his first game last weekend, but his team lost to Goztepe on home soil.
Liverpool are expected to be a much tougher opponent too, and Fenerbahce will be missing key players Marco Asensio and Nathan Ake.
The Reds appear to have no fresh injury concerns themselves, and will be travelling here expecting to win.
Andoni Iraola's team played well against Arsenal but failed to muster a shot on target – according to some sources – and ultimately lost the match.
They had won five in a row in all competitions before that though, so ultimately come into this still in decent form.
Liverpool have also been perfect in the Champions League so far, and the six-time winners will be aiming to go deep in the competition again.
