Liverpool can enter the following five games with confidence and strong form after claiming a 2-0 Merseyside derby victory that moved them up to third in the Premier League.
It was crucial that the Reds bounced back right away after the international break after the disappointment of earning just one point from away visits to Tottenham and Brighton, and who better to play to go back to winning ways than Everton?
Although neither team played in the most attractive of matches, Liverpool won the match, and Mohamed Salah in particular, and that is ultimately what counts.
The outcome is only significant if it is followed by a string of victories, so there are no excuses given that the club’s upcoming games are, to put it mildly, enticing.
The games Liverpool will play in the following five matches are listed below.
LIVERPOOL VS TOULOUSE – EUROPA LEAGUE
The return of Europa League competition provides the Reds with a change of pace following the derby.
Toulouse is currently ranked tenth in France’s Ligue 1. The two teams last played each other in 2007, with Liverpool coming out on top 4-0.
As Jurgen Klopp looks to make it three straight victories in Europe, expect lots of rotation and an opportunity for players like Jarell Quansah and Ben Doak (if fit) to showcase their talents once more.

LIVERPOOL VS NOTTINGHAM FOREST – PREMIER LEAGUE
In their final Premier League match of the month, Liverpool will face Nottingham Forest, who are now 15th in the standings with just ten points under the guidance of former Reds youth coach Steve Cooper.
When these two teams last met at the City Ground, Taiwo Awoniyi, another ex-Liverpool player, scored the game’s lone goal. In April, Klopp’s team prevailed in a nail-biting 3-2 decision at Anfield.

BOURNEMOUTH VS LIVERPOOL – CARABAO CUP
With a trip to Bournemouth to begin November, the Reds have a chance to advance to the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.
In August of this year, Liverpool defeated the Cherries 3-1, and Andoni Iraola’s team is currently on a dreadful run without a win in the Premier League.
If Klopp and company are still in the draw for the final eight, winning the ninth League Cup will become a welcome prospect despite not being their first priority this season.

LUTON TOWN VS LIVERPOOL – PREMIER LEAGUE
For the first time since 2008, Liverpool will visit the legendary Kenilworth Road for their opening Premier League match in November.
Since their promotion, Luton has struggled in the Premier League, but they are currently just five points above the relegation zone.
When these two teams last faced off in a league match, it was back in 1992, when the Reds came out on top 2-1.

TOULOUSE VS LIVERPOOL – EUROPA LEAGUE
he Reds will play Toulouse in the reverse match just three days later, and if everything goes according to plan, they will advance to the Europa League knockout rounds with two games remaining.
Due to their flawless start to the campaign thus far, Klopp’s team will be certain to advance and be able to continue charting their route to Dublin in May if they defeat the French team both at home and away.
Due to this, it is more likely that Liverpool will start a strong lineup and strive to complete the task at hand. This would provide the club’s young talent plenty of chances to play in Europe during the last two group stage matches.
