Arne Slot has named a strong team with Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defense, and Andy Robertson on the left.

Tyler Morton didn't travel because of a minor knock and Federico Chiesa is ill.

"I think it is really special what they've done here, particularly last season but even this season still," Slot said during his press conference.

Arne Slot leaves after giving a press conference on the eve of the UEFA Champions League football match between Girona and Liverpool, at the Montilivi stadium in Girona on December 9, 2024.

Even this season, I think they do better than the results might look, especially in the Champions League.

I have seen almost every game and apart from the PSV [Eindhoven] game, they were in every game.

"They were unlucky against Paris Saint-Germain, I think they were a bit unlucky here against my former club Feyenoord when they conceded two own goals and missed a penalty, although Feyenoord missed one as well

So, they were in every game apart from the PSV Eindhoven one and that's why we have to be on top of our game tomorrow to get a result over here."

Liverpool starting XI in full: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
