The official matchday programme for the Reds' UEFA Europa League clash with Besiktas is on sale now.

Inside we hear from Simon Mignolet who talks candidly about playing behind different formations and his first experiences of European football.

Steven Gerrard also gives us the lowdown from inside the dressing room while we hear from first-team coach Mike Marsh about his experiences playing in Istanbul - for Galatasaray - during the mid-1990s.

We also catch up with both bosses ahead of the game. Brendan Rodgers shares his thoughts in his exclusive column while Slaven Bilic offers reflections on subjects ranging from his playing days with Everton to this tie at Anfield.

Broadcaster Matt Smith will be fronting ITV's coverage of the fixture and he takes us behind the scenes of a European matchday and offers his thoughts on the growing importance of the UEFA Europa League.

There is in-depth pre-match analysis from ex-Reds defender Gary Gillespie and we also chat to former striker Dirk Kuyt who recalls his Euro highlights in a red shirt and offers an insight into his current life in Istanbul with Fenerbahce.

Elsewhere, U19s coach Neil Critchley previews next week's UEFA Youth League Round of 16 tie away to Benfica.

With all this and more besides, why not make a point of picking up the latest issue of This Is Anfield? It is priced £3.
