Liverpool will reach a European milestone when they tackle Toulouse away from home on Thursday night – find out more in our statistical preview.

Having won three out of three in the group stage so far this season, the Reds travel to France for a 5.45pm GMT kick-off.

Here are 11 facts and figures to know ahead of the tie…

This will be Liverpool’s 150th game in this competition across its three guises: Fairs Cup, UEFA Cup and Europa League. They have won 81 so far.

It is also the club’s 450th match under Jürgen Klopp. There has been 278 victories to date.

A win in this game would see the Reds qualify for the knockout stages. If they claim victory and Union SG fail to win away to LASK, Liverpool would be confirmed as group winners with two matches to spare and therefore avoid a knockout play-off round in February.

Liverpool have beaten Toulouse in each of their three previous meetings, winning 4-0 and 5-1 at home, and at Thursday’s venue in a 2007-08 Champions League third qualifying round match thanks to Andriy Voronin’s 43rd-minute goal.
