[Teams] Liverpool vs Besiktas: Confirmed Line-Ups

Liverpool will be looking to secure a first leg advantage when they face Besiktas at Anfield in the Europa League tonight.

Brendan Rodgers must make do without the injured Steven Gerrard and Lucas Leiva for the game so Joe Allen continues alongside Jordan Henderson in the centre of midfield.

Raheem Sterling returns to the squad after missing the last two games but is only deemed fit enough for a place on the bench as Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana support Daniel Sturridge in attack.

Jordon Ibe is recalled in place of the suspended Lazar Markovic on the right wing while Mario Balotelli is among the subs.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Liverpool

Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Allen, Henderson, Moreno, Ibe, Coutinho, Lallana, Sturridge

Subs: Lovren, Lambert, Manquillo, Borini, Balotelli, Sterling, Ward

Besiktas

Cenk, Serdar, Ersan, Franco, Motta, Olcay, Veli, Hutchinson, Gokhan, Sosa, Ba.

Subs: Enes, Mustafa, Oguzhan, Tolgay, Necip, Kerim, Opare.
