Toulouse v Liverpool

Toulouse vs Liverpool Preview

Toulouse and Liverpool meet again in Group E of the Europa League following their recent meeting on Matchday 3 which resulted in a landslide 5-1 victory in favour of the English Premier League side but although Toulouse hold home advantage this time around for this upcoming Matchday 4 clash at their Stadium de Toulouse, the hosts slumped to a third defeat on the trot on the weekend, while Liverpool rescued a point away at lowly Luton Town.

Toulouse were dealt a heavy 5-1 thrashing on merseyside at Anfield in their previous group match in the Europa League and although they returned to domestic action in subsequent matches, the hosts were also handed losses against the likes of Montpellier and Le Havre respectively.

The bigger picture hasn't looked any brighter either for Toulouse as they have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 13 matches overall in all competitions which came in the form of rare successes against Metz in Ligue 1 along with a 1-0 home win over LASK in the Europa League but that is as far as it goes for Carles Martinez's side.

In addition, the French hosts have recorded just two wins from their last eight ties in the Europa League which also does not appear to bode well for this upcoming visit from Liverpool.

Liverpool's frustrations were clear for all to see on Sunday afternoon as The Reds struggled to gain the upper hand against early relegation candidates, Luton Town, when the two teams clashed at Kenilworth Road and indeed found themselves 1-0 down deep in stoppage time.

Up popped Luis Diaz to rescue a point for Liverpool and break Luton's hearts but Jurgen Klopp will be demanding more from his side at Toulouse on Thursday night as they seek to extend their latest unbeaten run of seven games without defeat.

Within this period, Liverpool have accrued five wins in the process which includes Premier League wins against Everton and Nottingham Forest along with a League Cup victory over Bournemouth, while the bigger picture shows the merseyside club have been dealt just the one defeat out of their previous 17 games overall in all competitions.

Liverpool currently sit top of the Group E table having won all three of their group games to date, beating LASK 3-1, Union St Gilloise 2-0 and a 5-1 thrashing of Toulouse while goals have featured in The Reds' games of late at this level with four of Liverpool's last seven ties overall resulting in Over 3.5 goals scored.
