Looking to protect a 1-0 advantage from the first leg, The Reds will be without their two most influential players for the third qualifying round tie.

Gerrard has been ruled out with the broken toe, which forced him to sit out the weekend win over Sunderland and last week's England friendly against Germany. Mohamed Sissoko took his place in midfield at The Stadium of Light, but Javier Mascherano is also pressing for a starting role.

Carragher is absent due to the rib injury he sustained in the 2-0 success at Sunderland, with Daniel Agger to take his spot in the side.

All things considered, Liverpool should brush aside Toulouse today to book their place in the group stage of Champions League.
