Rampant Reds unbeaten in Europe thus far
Liverpool are sitting pretty in the Champions League ahead of tonight’s trip to Girona.
Arne Slot’s side have taken maximum points in Europe this season and duly sit top of the Champions League table as a result.
The Reds beat Real Madrid 2-0 last time out and look all but set to routinely claim a place in the knockout rounds, meaning Slot can perhaps afford to rotate.
After the draining 3-3 draw with Newcastle last week, Slot’s side saw the Merseyside derby postponed due to Storm Darragh hitting the UK.
Girona, meanwhile, sit towards the bottom of the table after winning just one of their opening five games.
Girona vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 5.45pm GMT kick-off time on Tuesday, December 10, 2024.
Estadi Montilivi in Girona will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Discovery+ app.

Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota were both training with the team on Monday, though Jota did not fly out with the squad to Spain.
Federico Chiesa missed out on training with what was reportedly illness and has not made the trip, continuing his frustrating season since arriving at Liverpool in the summer.
Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley are both injured, while Kostas Tsimikas is a doubt and Alexis Mac Allister will miss out due to suspension.
