Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Thursday's Europa League Group E clash with Toulouse.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be working around six guaranteed absentees for Thursday's Europa League Group E showdown with Toulouse at Stadium Municipal.

None of Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Thiago Alcantara (hip) or Andrew Robertson (shoulder) will be seen in a Reds jersey for a while, and Curtis Jones also sat out the weekend's draw with Luton Town due to a hamstring

Jones will not be available Thursday evening, where a win could see Liverpool confirm a spot in the last 16 with two games to spare if other results go their way, and nor will Ryan Gravenberch (knee) or Virgil van Dijk (illness).

As ever, Caoimhin Kelleher will take the gloves off of Alisson Becker for the Europa League, while Joe Gomez - who began at left-back against Luton - could now offer Trent Alexander-Arnold a rest on the right-hand side.

Kostas Tsimikas's return to his left-back spot appears to be a guarantee, while Jarell Quansah was overlooked against Toulouse two weeks ago but is in contention to partner Joel Matip in the heart of the backline.

Gravenberch could have become the first Reds player since Steven Gerrard in 2008 to directly contribute to a goal in four successive European matches, but owing to his knee injury, Dominik Szoboszlai might hold his spot in the middle.

Wataru Endo is primed to come back in after capping off an impressive display against Toulouse two weeks ago with a goal, while Harvey Elliott should earn a recall to the midfield trident too.

Having shaken off a muscular concern, Ben Doak could offer Mohamed Salah a rest on the right-hand side, while Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz - who netted a dramatic equaliser in the fifth minute of added time at Kenilworth Road - could complete a new-look offence.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Kelleher; Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Tsimikas; Elliott, Endo, Szoboszlai; Doak, Gakpo, Diaz
