Fiorentina had their worst run in Italy's top-flight football last season when they finished 16th in the league. There have been no signs of any revival as of yet with no wins since February. Veteran Frenchman Frank Ribery should make his full debut for La Viola against Juventus.
Star goalkeeper Alisson is out of the clash as he is yet to recover from his calf injury sustained during a league match at the start of the season. His deputy Adrian will continue to man the goal for Liverpool in his continued absence. The Sadio Mane-Mo Salah spat seem to have been forgotten as Jurgen Klopp is set to pick the duo for the clash.
Luka Modric has been diagnosed with a muscle problem and is out of the clash with doubts regarding his participation in the PSG clash too leaving the hosts short of midfield options.

Sunil Chettri has been sick for the past few days and is doubtful for the tie. If the Indian skipper misses out, Balwant Singh is the ideal candidate to start. Indian football has been on the downhill ever since that fantastic victory over Thailand in the Asian Cup. Qatar could rip apart India if they continue to be lethargic and rigid on the field.
Northern Ireland are undefeated in 2019, which is bad news for the German fans considering how important a win is for them tonight. Joachim Loew has his job on the line, and we could see an improved performance from the German stars.
All eyes will be on Faroe Island captain Atli Gregersen’s who has the difficult job of stopping the waves after wave of Spanish attack.

Defensive midfielder William Carvalho is the workhorse in the team and Serbia will have to do well to find a way past him.
England have a wealth of attacking option at their disposal with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and Jadon Sancho in sparkling form.

Toni Kroos is an experienced man in the middle of the park and his form for Real Madrid in the opening games of the season has been excellent. Skipper Manuel Neuer will continue to guard the goal for the team with a relatively inexperienced bunch of defenders.
