Liverpool return to the scene of their fifth European Cup win a week on Tuesday for their final Champions League group game against Galatasary. With the Reds already through to the knockout stages, and guaranteed top spot in Group C, Rafael Benitez is likely to rotate his squad.

Jamie Carragher is hoping he is not one of the players rested for the Galatasary game as he admits he is looking forward to returning to Istanbul.

"We're not sure who'll be going yet because obviously we've qualified and finished top of the group now," said the Reds' vice-captain.

"The manager's got a decision to make but I'd love to go and play there again because it will bring back some great memories for the players who were involved. I'm sure it will bring things back for the supporters who were there too.

"We'll be training in the stadium the night before, so that's when we'll take things in and have a look round, because obviously on match day you need to have your head on the game.

"I just hope it's not 3-0 to Galatasaray at half-time!"
