What changed and why it matters

As stated in the preview, Fenerbahce has a strong midfield, which is why Andoni Iraola went with his best midfield options. The trio also provides some scoring punch going forward, and that also leaves some scoring options like Alexander Isak off of the bench

LFC Globe Verdict

This is a little bit different than what I expected, but it makes sense. Have a strong midfield and rest defenders that put in a proper shift vs. Arsenal. This is a strong Starting XI that should have no problem picking up three points
