Andoni Iraola has told Liverpool to kill Fenerbahce's confidence in Istanbul as they chase a fourth straight Champions League win. Cody Gakpo, meanwhile, joked that the Reds maybe should dive more after two big calls went against them in Sunday's defeat to Arsenal, a result that left them nine points behind the reigning champions in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace have appealed against the straight red card Jean-Philippe Mateta received in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham. The France international faces a three-match ban for his studs-up challenge on Micky van de Ven, and losing him now would be a fresh blow for under-pressure Eagles boss Pierre Sage, with Liverpool visiting Selhurst Park on Sunday.
Liverpool have been dealt a fresh injury setback ahead of their European travels after Ryan Gravenberch was ruled out of the upcoming Champions League fixture against Fenerbahce. The Dutch midfielder will not be part of the group heading to Turkiye as the Reds look to maintain their strong form on the continent.
