After only just managing to secure a point against Luton in Premier League action over the weekend thanks to a last minute Luis Diaz equaliser, Liverpool will be desperate to get back to winning ways as they travel to face Toulouse in the Europa League.
The Reds are perfect so far in Group E, winning all three of their matches whilst netting ten times in the process.
As such, the visitors remain well placed for another victory here on French soil, even if their recent record when playing away to French clubs remains poor with no wins across their last four such visits.
That run of form will give hosts Toulouse a chance here then against a likely rotated Liverpool outfit, and as they need another positive result to keep up their own chances of qualification from this group, expect them to pose a real challenge for the Merseysiders here.

Toulouse vs Liverpool best bet
- Pick: Under 2.5 goals
- Odds: +165 (DraftKings)
Despite hitting Toulouse for five goals less than a month ago, we're going to pick the under 2.5 goals scored here as Liverpool have found the going a bit tougher from a scoring perspective across their last few outings.
Of course they maintain a strike force capable of making this pick look silly in an instance, but this away match in France could prove a tricky one with the hostile home crowd to also deal with.
The hosts will also fancy their chances here, but if Liverpool can pull out a clean sheet and attack their opposition on the break, it could prove to be a bit more of a lower scoring affair than three weeks ago.
Toulouse vs Liverpool flier bet
- Pick: Harvey Elliott to score anytime
- Odds: +275 (DraftKings)
As he didn't start at the weekend vs. Luton in the Premier League and given that manager Jurgen Klopp is almost definitely going to rotate his side a bit here, we've plumped for Harvey Elliott to score in Toulouse on Thursday.
At +275 with DraftKings to score anytime, it represents good value, especially as Toulouse struggled to cope with Liverpool's attack in their heavy 5-1 defeat at Anfield three weeks ago.
It must be highlighted that Elliott hasn't actually found the back of the net yet this season and he has just six goals across 80 appearances but he's a player who likes to shoot when the chance arises.
Since the start of last season across all competitions, the young midfielder has scored five of those goals from an xG total of just 3.98 highlighting his ruthlessness when opportunities do come his way.
