Union Saint-Gilloise vs Liverpool preview
It's a good old fashioned dead-rubber for Liverpool in their Europa League clash against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
The Reds have already booked their place in the knockout stages as group winners, and are expected to rotate heavily ahead of a bumper festive fixture schedule.
Liverpool now lead the Premier League by a single point ahead of Arsenal courtesy of their last victory over Crystal Palace last weekend.
But getting there and staying there are two completely different things.
Manager Jurgen Klopp will want to keep his squad as fresh as possible given they have five matches before the beginning of 2024.
Liverpool take on Manchester United one Sunday, before fixtures against West Ham, Arsenal, Burnley and Newcastle on New Year's Day.
As for the Union Saint-Gilloise, they will need to win to stand a chance of qualifying in second position. They'll also need Toulouse to lose to LASK in the other Group E contest.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Liverpool betting tips
Cody Gakpo to score at 13/5 with Paddy Power – CLAIM HERE
This looks a good opportunity for Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo to increase his Europa League tally.
The Netherlands international, 24, has struck twice and provided two assists in three appearances in the competition – meaning he has a goal involvement every 46.5 minutes.
He only got 30 minutes against Crystal Palace last weekend, and should spearhead the Liverpool attack, who have scored 12 in their last four outings.

Mohamed Amoura to score at 6/4 with Paddy Power – CLAIM HERE
Mohamed Amoura is enjoying a profitable campaign having scored 14 goals in 21 appearances in all competitions.
The Algeria international, 23, has been deployed up top by manager Alexander Blessin in the German’s preferred 3-5-2 formation.
As mentioned, Liverpool will make a raft of changes and the Amoura can use his pace to drive forward, cut inside and test goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

Liverpool to score in both halves at 9/5 with Paddy Power – CLAIM HERE
An early Liverpool goal could well spark this clash into life.
And that seems infinitely possible given Royale Union Saint-Gilloise have trailed in FOUR of their FIVE Europa League matches.
The hosts have to win this contest, and they will throw caution to the wind if they go behind at any point. That could well leave us with an open game with plenty of goals.
