Liverpool face Istanbul graveyard as Osimhen hunts history

Liverpool travels to Ali Sami Yen Sports Stadium on Tuesday for their Champions League group stage encounter with Galatasaray at 10 p.m. Cairo time. The Turkish side has dropped just three home fixtures across their past 18 European contests, but enters winless through seven continental matches. Victor Osimhen stands one goal from becoming Nigeria's first 10-goal Champions League scorer after matching Obafemi Martins at nine tallies. The Reds carry a dismal road record against Turkish opposition with one victory across six attempts, yet have captured 13 wins during their previous 14 group contests. Mohamed Salah requires two goals to reach 50 Champions League strikes, and would establish himself as Africa's first player to hit that mark after netting 19 times across his past 21 group fixtures.
