Toulouse will try to use the atmosphere and we have to make sure we are ready.
Recalling the meeting last month, Klopp adds: "Toulouse caused us problems until we understood the way they played. Their supporters were exceptional. I can imagine it will be a proper atmosphere and we respect a lot what Toulouse is doing." The 'midweek team' can expect to be given another outing tonight as Klopp rings the changes, although the absences of Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Virgil van Dijk have lessened his options. And the Reds boss believes Liverpool's strength in depth is allowing them to juggle the unique demands of playing on Thursday in Europe and then in the Premier League less than 72 hours later.
