Besiktas vs Galatasaray: Probable Lineups – Man City loanee Jason Denayer expected to return but not likely to start

Reigning Super Lig champions Besiktas take on league leaders Galatasaray in the Istanbul derby at the Vodafone Arena today.

The Black Eagles have been flying high in the Champions League but have struggled for form of late in the league.

Besiktas are however, unbeaten at the Vodafone Arena since its inauguration in 2015.

The Istanbul giants have no fresh injury concerns, Caner Erkin is still out suspended meanwhile Pepe is likely to return to the starting line-up.

Tosic and Medel have returned from suspension for Besiktas, Babel will miss the next game if he picks up another yellow card.

Galatasaray meanwhile will be without Tolga Cigerci and Latovlevici for the derby game due to injury.

Manchester City loanee Jason Denayer has recovered from his injury and while he is expected to make the squad he is unlikely to start.

Besiktas have never actually won a major derby at their new home, Galatasaray boss Igor Tudor meanwhile has never won a derby clash since taking charge of the Lions.
