Liverpool has its sights set on securing the top spot in Group E.

However, with expectations that Jurgen Klopp will rest key players in Thursday’s clash, there is a temptation to favor the underdogs. The anticipated returns of Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones, and Harvey Elliott to the starting XI add depth. On the injury front, Alexis Mac Allister, Joel Matip, Diogo Jota, and Andy Robertson remain sidelined. Although the Europa League clash comes too early for talented midfielder Stefan Bajcetic, who is nearing a return.

Player to watch – St Gilloise vs Liverpool

Mohamed Salah is widely regarded as one of the premier African players. Starting his senior career at El Mokawloon, he showcased his talents with 11 goals in 41 league appearances before making a move to Europe in 2012. Salah signed a four-year deal with the Swiss side Basel.

As a pacy winger with the versatility to play as a striker, Salah delivered exceptional performances for Basel from 2012 to 2014. His impressive displays caught the attention of Chelsea, leading to his signing on January 26, 2015, for a transfer fee of £11 million. However, Salah struggled to make a significant impact in the Premier League, prompting a one-year loan to Fiorentina the following season.
