Editorial news visual · Fenerbahçe vs Çorum FK: Muriqi expected to start · Mirat Haber
Vedat Muriqi is expected to lead Fenerbahçe’s attack against Çorum FK in their first match under Emre Belözoğlu. According to Milliyet, Belözoğlu plans to start Muriqi rather than Romelu Lukaku. The report also outlines his likely choices in defence and midfield.
Milliyet reports that Vedat Muriqi has moved ahead of Romelu Lukaku in the pecking order after scoring the winning goal. According to the report, Muriqi features in Belözoğlu’s planned starting line-up against Çorum FK. With 7 league goals, he is identified as the team’s leading scorer. This is a report on the coaching staff’s preparations, rather than an announced matchday line-up.
For supporters following the match, Archie Brown’s absence through suspension is the key factor in defence. Under the plan reported by Milliyet, the back four is expected to comprise Nelson Semedo, Milan Skriniar, Emanuel Oppong and Levent Mercan. These are the defenders named in the projected line-up, not a confirmed matchday selection.
In midfield, the three-man setup used against Liverpool could be retained. N’Golo Kante, Matteo Guendouzi and İsmail Yüksek are expected to play together. The reported plan points to keeping the structure from the previous match rather than introducing a new formation in midfield. According to Milliyet, İrfan Can Kahveci is set to play a playmaking role from the wing.
The report says Belözoğlu views Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Oğuz Aydın as options to bring off the bench depending on how the match develops.
