The Reds are leading the Champions League trophy and the Premier League and that makes them a dominant force this year. The club has come out as a strong force in all aspects and they are expected to continue their rhythm for the upcoming fixture.
Overall, Liverpool has recorded an average possession of 57% with 79% wins as of now. They have taken an average of 12.29 shots in every game out of which 17% of shots have seen conversion.
The Reds have their defence as the real strength. Liverpool has conceded an average of 0.79 goals in every game while winning 7 clean sheets in the last 14 fixtures.
Their attack has also played an important role in the success of the club. Liverpool has scored an average of 2.07 goals in every game. Mohamed Salah is their top-scorer with 13 goals and 8 assists on his name.
Ibrahima Konate (knee) and Conor Bradley (hamstring) joined Kostas Tsimikas (ankle) and Alisson Becker (hamstring) are out of action because of their respective injuries.
Predicted Lineup: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Nunez
Girona is in trouble as they host Premier League giants at home. Liverpool is dominating both the Premier League and the Champions League with some of the strongest defence in both competitions.
Girona will find it difficult to convert their shots and even create chances. Liverpool, on the other hand, has an aggressive forward that will find it easier to score multiple goals. We predict a win for Liverpool on Tuesday.
