Liverpool have been drawn against LASK, Union SG and Toulouse in the Europa League group stage, with the first game set to take place on September 21.

The Reds have dropped out of the Champions League for the first time since 2016 and are set for a season in the second tier of European football.

Jurgen Klopp took his side all the way to the final the last time they were in this competition and will be hoping to go one better this time around.

A date in Dublin awaits if Liverpool can navigate their way to the showpiece once more, but they will have to go through LASK, Union SG and Toulouse in Group E first.

The Reds were in Pot 1 having reached three Champions League finals since their last outing in this competition, joining the likes of West Ham, Roma, Villarreal and Rangers.

With the group stage draw now confirmed, fans can begin to start plotting the route to the final on May 22.
