Curtis Jones returns for Liverpool as they welcome Toulouse in the Europa League.

The Reds host Carles Martinez Novell's team at Anfield this evening and a shock win would send the visitors top of Group E.

Despite looking to challenge for the Premier League title this season, Jurgen Klopp has also confirmed his desire to take the tournament seriously.

That has proven to be the case so far with wins over LASK and Union SG, albeit the group stage perhaps affords more chance for Liverpool to rotate their starting lineup.

Klopp's hopes of securing safe passage into the knockout rounds have been given a boost with forward Cody Gakpo's return to training.

The Dutchman suffered a knee injury during the controversial defeat to Tottenham last month but is now available again and starts on the bench.

Left-back stalwart Andy Robertson remains injured, however, after undergoing successful surgery on a shoulder injury sustained while playing for Scotland against Spain during the recent international break.

Midfielders Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are also absent, having yet to return to team training.

Liverpool starting lineup (4-3-3): Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Matip, Chambers; Endo, Jones, Gravenberch; Elliott, Nunez, Jota

Subs: Alisson, Jaros, Van Dijk, Diaz, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Tskimikas, Scanlon, McConnell, Quansah, Szoboszlai
