Liverpool ace Sterling excited facing Besiktas fans

Liverpool midfielder Raheem Sterling is excited to be playing in Turkey tonight against Besiktas.

The Reds go to Turkey defending a 1-0 lead in their Europa League tie.

"The support in Turkey looks incredible," said Sterling. "It's going to be a really exciting game - for me personally as well, as I've always wanted to play in Turkey and see what the fans are like.

"Everyone says how amazing they are. People say: "You might get intimidated". But I think the fans at Anfield are quite intimidating [to the opposition] as well. So I don't think it will be too different. But I'm really excited to play in Turkey."
