Liverpool will be looking to maintain their unbeaten run in the Europa League when they welcome second-placed Tolouse to Anfield in Group E this Thursday afternoon at 2pm. Jürgen Klopp said ahead of the game that he will make some changes from the match against Everton, where he referred to the performance of Luis Diaz and highlighted his behaviour. Gakpo recovered and that would put in doubt the presence of the Colombian from the start in the international tournament.
The German was asked about Darwin and took the opportunity to highlight what Diaz did in the Merseyside derby, as it was quite functional for the scheme that the DT raised. In England they even talk about the Colombian playing as a wing-back at times. "Darwin is in a very good moment, it took some time to adapt to everything but everyone is very happy with him. We made a decision on who of the two could start against Everton, Diaz or Darwin. Lucho's job was to create. Darwin came in and killed the game, that was the idea, it worked," said the DT.
"We will make some changes, not too many, we will see, but the boys have already shown that they are ready for the competition. We hope to go a long, long, long way in this competition," said the DT regarding the starting eleven on Thursday. In attack, the return of Gakpo could change the attacking trident with the Dutchman, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah starting. Luis Diaz would be in the starting line-up.

Luis Diaz would be an alternative unless Klopp decides to give continuity to the Colombian who, despite not scoring, continues to be one of the most unbalanced players in the final quarter of the pitch.
