Liverpool<\/a> will look to regain the winning feeling as they take on Galatasaray <\/a>in the Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champion League <\/a>on Tuesday. Arne Slot’s team hadn’t lost a game this season until their 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace <\/a>in the Premier League <\/a>on Saturday. Despite Federico Chiesa <\/a>scoring a late equaliser, Palace clinched all three points thanks to a dramatic, late winner from Eddie Nketiah<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In their first Champions League game of the season, Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid <\/a>3-2 at Anfield. They scored two early goals thanks to Andrew Robertson <\/a>and Mohamed Salah <\/a>but Atl\u00e9tico bounced back to make it 2-2 courtesy Marcos Llorente<\/a>. The winner of the match was scored by captain Virgil van Djik <\/a>in the 92nd minute.<\/p>\n

Ahead of this second match, there are no big injury issues for Liverpool apart from Giovanni Leoni <\/a>who faces a lengthy injury layoff after suffering an ACL injury.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Galatasaray lost their Champions League opener against Eintracht Frankfurt <\/a>5-1. But their league form has been outstanding as they won all seven matches so far.<\/p>\n
