Jurgen Klopp will be hoping Thursday night’s trip to Union Saint-Gilloise is the last Europa League group fixture of his Liverpool tenure.
Despite falling to a 3-2 defeat in Toulouse on matchday four, Group E has otherwise been a procession for the Reds, and victory over LASK last time out saw the Premier League side confirm their place in the round of 16.
They’ll wrap up their group campaign against a USG side that have a slim chance of progressing in second spot. The Belgian outfit must beat Liverpool on Thursday and hope Toulouse slip up against LASK. A third-place finish and a spot in the Europa Conference League playoffs is also at stake.
Here’s 90min’s preview of Liverpool’s Europa League clash in Brussels.

Liverpool confirmed lineup vs Union Saint-Gilloise (4-3-3): Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Quansah, Chambers; Endo, Elliott, Jones; Doak, Gakpo, Gordon.
Substitutes: Pitaluga, Mrozek, Gomez, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Scanlon, McConnell, Koumas, Hill.
Liverpool‘s rotated XI haven’t had too many issues in this competition, although they won’t have the comfort of Anfield on Thursday night.
The Reds were forced to come from behind against LASK on Matchday 1 and they were beaten in France, so there’s certainly a chance for Union Saint-Gilloise to cause an upset. The Belgian side need the points to keep their European hopes alive, but the Reds could work hard enough for a point.
Prediction: Union Saint-Gilloise 1-1 Liverpool
