Unbeaten Liverpool will look to seal their qualification in the last-16 of the Champions League when they take on FC Girona who have been riddled with inconsistency this season.
After a dream run in La Liga last season, Girona has been knocked back to reality this season. Michel's side is currently 9th in the domestic competition and is on the verge of elimination from the European competition, sitting 30th in the Champions League points table with just three points.
The Spanish clubs have failed to win against the English clubs in the last seven matches. A struggling Girona will have a mountain to climb against the Premier League and Champions League leaders.
Meanwhile, Liverpool enters the fixture on the back of a 3-3 draw against Newcastle as their derby clash against Everton was postponed due to strong winds hitting the British shores.
The Reds are the only unbeaten team in the competition and their form indicates that they are likely to extend their winning run on Tuesday.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest team news news.
