In a match that was overshadowed by disturbing chants and reports of tragedy, Liverpool struggled to break through Luton's resilient defense and were surprised by a late goal from Tahith Chong on a breakaway. However, a heartwarming moment occurred when Luis Diaz, who had been dealing with a distressing situation involving his parents in Colombia, managed to score a late equalizer.
After suffering a 5-1 defeat in the previous encounter at Anfield, Toulouse is eager to seek revenge as they get ready to host Liverpool at the Stadium Municipal in the upcoming midweek fixture. Their recent performance includes a draw against Union SG and a 1-0 victory over LASK Linz, placing them in the third position within Group E with four points from three matches.
Toulouse is in dire need of a victory in this game, but they may not be overly optimistic about their prospects, given Liverpool's current strong form. Following their 5-1 loss at Anfield a few weeks ago, Carles Martinez Novell's team has suffered back-to-back defeats against Montpellier and Le Havre.
They have not managed to secure a win in their last five matches across all competitions, and their primary goal is to break that unwelcome streak on Thursday.
On the other hand, Liverpool was held to a 1-1 draw by the underdog Luton Town in their most recent outing. The Reds had to work hard to salvage a point, with Tahith Chong giving Luton the lead in the 80th minute, and Luis Diaz equalizing in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time to spare Liverpool from embarrassment.
This draw brought an end to Liverpool's four-game winning streak. However, Liverpool has maintained a perfect record in the Europa League so far and is eager to swiftly overcome their French opponents on Thursday.
This draw against the newly-promoted Luton side put an end to Liverpool's four-game winning streak, and the team has been struggling in their recent away matches against French teams, failing to secure victories in their last four encounters across the channel.
On a more positive note, Liverpool delivered an impressive performance against Toulouse, securing a 5-0 win and making it three wins out of three against the Coupe de France champions. Their previous meeting with Toulouse in the 2007-08 Champions League qualifying round saw Liverpool win 1-0 thanks to an Andriy Voronin goal.
Toulouse continues to face challenges, missing key players like Zakaria Aboukhlal due to a knee injury, with no expected return until after the next international break. In addition, Oliver Zanden (hip) and Denis Genreau (back) are unavailable for selection.
Despite the disappointing performance in their previous match against Le Havre, Liverpool mostly fielded the same players who suffered that loss, with the exception of Frank Magri replacing Moussa Diarra to adopt a more attacking approach. This change did not yield positive results, much like the five-man defense strategy employed at Anfield. However, the return of midfield anchor Stijn Spierings is expected to see the Violets coach stick with a 4-3-3 formation for the upcoming game.
Liverpool's manager, Jurgen Klopp, has acknowledged that Thiago Alcantara is unlikely to return to action before the New Year due to a hip injury, and there is no specific timeline for Stefan Bajcetic's recovery from a calf issue.
After defeating LASK on matchday two, Les Violets have now lost five straight games. Toulouse's seven-game home unbeaten streak was also ended by Le Havre's stunning victory over the weekend, which further dimmed hopes for success ahead of one of the tournament favorites visiting.
Although Liverpool's dominance at Kenilworth Road over the weekend diminished, they still have a five-point edge over both Union SG and their opponents on Thursday. Should LASK defeat the Belgian representatives, they will also guarantee a trip to the round of 16 with win.
Toulouse should not be laughing at their opening draw against Union SG or their 1-0 victory over LASK Linz, but if the former wins this week, Les Violets will at the very least be relegated to the Europa Conference League if they can shock the Reds on Thursday night.
But Toulouse's 3-0 Ligue 1 loss to Montpellier HSC three days after being thrashed by Liverpool signaled the start of a depressing three-game losing streak, and on Sunday, newly promoted Le Havre shocked Martinez's team 2-0 at Stadium Municipal.

Along with Virgil van Dijk (sickness) and Gravenberch (knee), Curtis Jones was also absent for the Luton meeting owing to a hamstring injury. Andrew Robertson is still recovering from his shoulder surgery.
Even with a few new worries, Klopp will likely make the same substitutions as usual. Matchday three hero Endo, Caoimhin Kelleher, Harvey Elliott, and Diaz are all expected to be called up, provided the latter is in good condition.
Three times previously, twice in the UEFA Champions League and once in the Europa League, Liverpool and Toulouse have faced off.With a total score of 10-1, Liverpool has defeated Toulouse in all three of their meetings.Toulouse has lost their last three games and has not won in their previous five games in any competition.Just three clean sheets have been maintained by Liverpool in their last 12 games in all competitions.Toulouse hasn't scored more than one goal in each of their last six games in any category.
Even if the Stadium Municipal is packed, Liverpool should have little trouble winning this one. Toulouse has had difficulty scoring goals, and the Premier League's biggest teams will probably take advantage of their defensive shortcomings.
