Besiktas take on Kayserispor at the Vodafone Park Stadium in the Super Lig on Saturday hoping to close the gap with league leaders Galatasaray to just one point.
The Black Eagles are currently fourth in the league on 11 points, four behind the Lions.
Liverpool loanee Loris Karius is expected to start in goal after several impressive performances most recently last week in the Istanbul derby against Fenerbahce.
Karius will be hoping to keep his first clean sheet of the season.
The 25-year-old has conceded four goals in his first four games in all competitions this term.
Former Liverpool man Ryan Babel is almost certain to start as a makeshift forward after impressing upfront.
Ricardo Quaresma and Jeremain Lens are likely to get the nod on the wins with Ljajic in a playmaker role and Oguzhan Ozyakup starting alongside Atiba Hutchinson in central midfield.
The Istanbul giants will be without Caner Erkin who is suspended. Domagoj Vida could replace the Turkey international at left-back as a result.
Kayserispor head into the game in 11th place on eight points after six games.
