Jurgen Klopp's side have made a perfect start to their Europa League campaign and are favourites to go all the way
Toulouse vs Liverpool - LIVE!
Liverpool can seal their place in the Europa League knockout stages as they travel to take on Toulouse this evening. The Reds have three wins from three so far in Group E, and another one will confirm qualification with time to spare. Should they pick another victory and Union SG fail to beat LASK, top spot will be secured.
Jurgen Klopp's side had to battle hard just to win a point against Luton over the weekend but they remain in strong form, with a controversial defeat to Tottenham the only time they have been beaten in any competition this season. A rotated side is named by Klopp, with Luis Diaz starting after it was confirmed his father has been released almost two weeks after he was kidnapped. Ben Doak gets a chance to impress, while Virgil van Dijk has not travelled due to illness.
Toulouse currently sit alongside LASK on four points and know any kind of positive result here would be a real bonus in their bid to make it out of the group. The French side sit 14th in Ligue 1, and were beaten 5-1 at Anfield a fortnight ago. Follow all the action with Standard Sport's LIVE blog below!
Kelleher: We take Europa League seriously
Caoimhin Kelleher starts in goal for Liverpool tonight, and he is confident the club can go all the way in the Europa League this season.
He said: "We’ve got some good momentum [in the Europa League]. We had a big win the last time out and won our other two games as well, so we’re just looking to add to that and continue winning ways in the competition.
""It won’t be an easy game, especially away from home. I thought their fans were very good when they came to us so I’m expecting a good atmosphere there. I think it will be a tougher challenge than the last game.
"The main objective was always qualifying first from the group. So, I think if we can do that as early as we can, then we’ll be happy. We’re preparing for a win and we want to get the win.
"Our main aim is to win any competition we’re in. But we have to take that step by step, and we’ve taken this competition very seriously from the start."
