Thursday night's Europa League action promises to be a spectacle as Toulouse, sitting third in their group, face a tough test against a Liverpool side cruising at the top with a perfect record.

They now face the challenge of bouncing back against one of Europe's elite teams.
Liverpool, on the other hand, were stunned by a surprise draw against Luton in the Premier League, with Luis Diaz's late goal securing the Reds' point.
Despite the setback, the Reds remain a force to be reckoned with and have all but assured their place in the next phase of the Europa League.
In their last encounter, Liverpool delivered a commanding 5-1 victory at Anfield, a result that Toulouse will be keen no to repeat.
The challenge is immense, with Liverpool known for their attacking verve and depth in squad.
Recent form suggests an uphill battle for the French club, who have suffered defeats in their last three outings across all competitions.
Liverpool, in contrast, have been showcasing their prowess in Europe, achieving victories by a margin of two or more goals in their recent Europa League matches.
Jurgen Klopp has the luxury to rotate his squad but will most likely give some minutes to essential attackers like Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.
The prediction tilts towards Liverpool continuing their strong form and securing another win, but Toulouse's determination could see them break through and find the net.
Fans can anticipate an engaging battle where Toulouse will aim to defy expectations, while Liverpool will look to further cement their status as group leaders.
