Les Violets will look to bag their first win against an English club

Toulouse began their Europa League campaign with four points from their first two matches before suffering a heavy defeat at Anfield. They had previously drawn with Union Saint-Gilloise and won 1-0 at home to LASK. However, they have struggled domestically, winning only two of their opening eleven Ligue 1 matches.

Liverpool are dominating Europa League Group E, having won all three of their opening matches. They recently defeated their opponents 5-1 in the reverse fixture, and have been in excellent form this season overall. Their only loss this season was a controversial 2-1 defeat to Tottenham in a match where they finished with 9 men.
