Fenerbahce vs Liverpool Preview Liverpool have taken maximum points from their opening three European games, beating Atletico Madrid 2-1, LASK 6-3 and Villarreal 4-3. Those results have put Andoni Iraola's team among the early leaders, although the Reds will want to put Sunday's 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal behind them quickly.
