After the loss against Spurs, who is Liverpool playing this week in the UEFA Europa League?

Liverpool suffered a painful defeat to Tottenham this past weekend in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp's team was left with 9 men and had to withstand the pressure of the opponent completing the 90 minutes. With a compensation time of six minutes, Tottenham looked until the end and got the win in a somewhat curious way. A goal against Matip put Spurs ahead.

Given this, Liverpool lost the opportunity to position itself as the leader of the Premier League and thus continue with the unbeaten and the perfect season. However, Ange Postecoglou's team is showing important things that have it as a rival to consider. At the moment, along with Arsenal they are the only unbeaten teams in the league. It is worth mentioning that both faced each other in a match that ended in a draw.

In addition, Spurs prevented Manchester City from getting down in the table. With the loss to Wolverhampton, a win for the Anfield team would have been enough to send Pep Guardiola's team either 1 or two positions down. Despite the triumph of the white team, the first 4 places remain the same and are the favorites to take the league this season

On the other hand, teams like City and Arsenal have pending Champions League commitments during this week. Meanwhile, Liverpool will have UEFA Europa League activity this week before thinking about the next Premier League match against Brighton. Without a doubt, a meeting that is worth seeing in the face of what awaits us the next date.

Who Liverpool playing against this week

Liverpool will host FC Union Saint-Gilloise in the second round of the UEFA Europa League group stage on Thursday. The German coach knows that it is vitally important to stay afloat in the intercontinental trophy, so it is most likely that he will send an alternative team to face the commitment. It should be noted that before LASK he sent a semi-alternative team that did not give him many results. Now, he hopes that the defeat of the end is motivation to win.
