Everything you need to know about the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash between Galatasaray and Liverpool.

The Reds have had a good showing so far in the FA Cup. After running away with a win over Bransley in the third round, the team pulled away and beat Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round last month to advance to the fifth round for the first time in two years. Liverpool now looks to advance to the quarters for just the third time since 2015.

Liverpool is currently sitting in sixth place, level with Chelsea in points for fifth, a spot in the UEFA Europa League, while they are also three points behind Manchester United for fourth.
