After securing a 2-0 home win over bitter rivals Everton at the weekend, Liverpool return to UEFA Europa League action looking to make it three wins from three in Group E.
After defeating Sturm Graz on matchday one, the Reds then dispatched Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise with ease at Anfield to take control of the group.
Another three-point haul here against France's Toulouse would essentially already have them with one foot in the knockout stages of the competition.
That remains the likely outcome as the visitors arrive here in the middle of a five-match winless away run, whilst they continue to struggle for goals overall. They sit 10th in Ligue 1, with just two wins through nine games this season.
Jurgen Klopp will be tempted to rotate his side in order to balance Liverpool's busy schedule, but it appears likely that the Reds will be strong enough to maintain their 100 per cent winning record in Europe this season.

Liverpool vs Toulouse best bet
- Pick: Both teams to score — NO
- Odds: 19/20 (bet365)
We don't envisage any problems in front of goal here for Liverpool given their record of netting at least twice in each of their six competitive home fixtures this season.
The same cannot be said for Toulouse, who continue to struggle in that regard. Through their nine Ligue 1 outings this season, the visitors have score just 11 times, while they've also scored just twice in two Europa League group-stage games.
Because of that lack of output, we're backing the selection of both teams not to score here at 19/20 with bet365, which offers a little bit of value.
Liverpool vs Toulouse smart bet
- Pick: Darwin Nunez to score 2+ goals
- Odds: 4/1 (10bet)
After finding himself on the bench again at the weekend in Liverpool's 2-0 home win over fierce rivals Everton, we're expecting Darwin Nunez to start upfront here.
In this season's Europa League, he's started both matches for the Reds, notching a goal and assist in the process. He's also proved that he can do the business in general this season by netting four goals overall through just 500 minutes of play.
Two of those strikes came in the form of a late brace against Newcastle United earlier in the season and he's at 4/1 with 10bet to complete the same feat here against much weaker opposition, which could be the play.
