“IT’S really easy to fall in love with this team because there’s so much excitement in it,” said Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool took control of their Europa League group with a 5-1 win at home to Toulouse on Thursday.

The victory marked their seventh in a row at Anfield this season, and not only do they have a perfect record at home this year, but they have won all of those games on Merseyside by two goals or more.

It has led to a feel-good factor around the club following a disappointing 2022/23 season.
