Galatasaray vs Besiktas lineups
Galatasaray
Galatasaray have been unstoppable in recent months; they are coming into this match on the back of five consecutive wins, and have no losses in their last 15 games. Okan Buruk's men will look to extend their winning streak as they host bitter rivals Besiktas this weekend. He won't be able to call upon the services of Hakim Ziyech, who is in the recovery room.
Predicted lineups: Muslera, Boey, Sánchez, Bardakçi, Karatas, Ndombélé, Torrería, Zaha, Akturkoglu, Yilmaz, Icardi.
Besiktas
On the other hand, Besiktas have seen a decline in form these past few weeks; they lost three of their last seven matches, after going on a 26 match unbeaten run. Interestingly, interim coach Burak Yilmaz played for both Galatasaray and Besiktas; it'll be interesting to see how his team will fare against second-placed Galatasaray. Mert Günok and Gedson Fernandes are both sidelined due to injury.
Predicted lineups: Destanoglu, Rosier, Uysal, Amartey, Zaynutdinov, Hadziahmetović, Uçan, Ghezzal, Chamberlain, Muleka, Aboubakar.

*Lineups will be automatically updated shortly after they're announced.
Player to watch: Mauro Icardi
Mauro Icardi bagged a goal and assist in Galatasaray's 2-0 victory over Antalyaspor; he's the top scorer in the Super Lig with eight goals. The Argentine player was directly involved in 14 goals in his last 12 appearances for the club; he will likely cause some problems for Besiktas' defense.
