Salah in action in Turkey

LIVERPOOL gave themselves work to do in the Champions League when they were beaten 1-0 in their round of 16 first leg at Galatasaray on Tuesday evening.

Mario Lemina scored the only goal early on as the Reds wasted a number of opportunities and will now have to embark on a recovery in the return at Anfield next Wednesday.

Before then, Arne Slot's side will aim to bolster their hopes of a top-four Premier League finish when they entertain struggling Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.

And here we look ahead to the changes Reds head coach Slot could make when his team are next in action.

From attempting to stay in this season’s Champions League, the focus for Liverpool now turns to ensuring their place in the competition next term.

And the recent return of several players and increased minutes for others indicates Slot will have no issue continuing his recent policy of heavy rotation.
