League leaders Galatasaray host fifth-place İstanbul Başakşehir. The hosts will be buzzing after a slender 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg, and now attention turns back to claiming a fourth consecutive league crown. They boast a formidable record at home this term, unbeaten in Turkish Super Lig action, winning 10 from 13 assignments.

Under Nuri Şahin, Başakşehir has remained competitive in the race for European spots, now sitting in 5th place with 42 points, mainly spearheaded by Eldor Shomurodov, who has 16 goals in the Super Lig. A major issue plaguing Sahin's team, however, is their record against fellow top sides. They've lost recent matches to Besiktas and gone out of the cup to Trabzonspor.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Galatasaray vs Istanbul Basaksehir today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.
4. Start Streaming: Go to your broadcaster's website and app and enjoy the game.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
