    With that all settled, lets have a look at the possible lineups!!!!!!!
  • PRVW
    As for Girona, the injured absentees are Tsygankov (ankle ) Herrera (muscle) and Miovski (hamstring), but thankfully they are not expected to be out for much longer as reports inform the trio could be back before the end of the year.
  • PRVW
    A couple of key Liverpool stars will be missing for this evening's game. Konate, Tsimikas, Morton and Bradley continue their spells on the sidelines due to long-term injuries. Mac Allister will also sit out the clash due to suspension after picking up three yellow cards. Elsewhere, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are both close to making a return but today's game comes too soon.
  • PRVW
    The player and club are yet to comment on the news, but the source reports that the announcement is set to arrive in the coming days.
  • PRVW
    Reports from England have informed that the Egyptian gem is set to stay at Anfield, thus putting an end to a contract saga that has put Salah's future at the heart of speculation for months. 'The Mirror' reported that the 32-year-old has agreed terms over a new deal until 2027.
  • PRVW
    Morale at Anfield is very high as Slot confirmed goalkeeper Alisson Becker was fit to play after around two months out injured. But the biggest news of all has to do with Mo Salah.
  • PRVW
    The head coach admitted that he would be able to use his strongest side after Liverpool's Premier League derby clash with Everton at the weekend was called off because of a dangerous storm. "Now everybody is really fit because we skipped the game on Saturday so there is no reason to rotate," he said during a press conference on Monday.
  • PRVW
    Despite the Dutchman's words, Liverpool look in good shape ahead of the match - arguably even better than they have for their other games this season.
  • PRVW
    However, Liverpool boss Slot has been adamant that the Champions League debutants' results do not reflect their quality. "I think it's really special what they've done here, particularly last season but even this season," Slot said yeterday. "That they were competing for the league title with this budget probably (shows) how good of a manager Michel is. Even this season I think they do better than the results might look, especially in the Champions League - I've seen almost every game and apart
  • PRVW
    Delfi Geli' side only count a win to their name this season. They were beaten by PSG on opening day, though it was a narrow 1-0 loss, then lost out in a thrilling 2-3 clash at home to Feyenoord before claiming their first win the tournament against Slovan Bratislava (2-0). Two defeats against PSV (4-0) and Sturm Graz (1-0) followed after that.
  • PRVW
    Having clinched promotion to La Liga three years ago and then qualification into the Champions League last year, Girona now find themselves in 30th position in the league-phase standings - on the brink of elimination.
  • PRVW
    They are faced with another Spanish team this evening in Girona. The 'Blanquivermells' have not endured the best time in their debut season of the Champions League so far.
  • PRVW
    The Reds have looked unstoppable regardless of their opponent. So far, they have defeated seven-time Champions League winners AC Milan 1-3 at the San Siro, Bologna by 2-0, RB Leipzig in a narrow 0-1 win and lastly, but most importantly, Real Madrid in a 2-0 humbling of the UCL kings.
  • PRVW
    Slot's men visit Girona aiming to maintain their perfect European record. Liverpool are first in the standings with 15 points after having won all their games so far.
