Yes I know it's almost impossible to go an entire season injury free players can still get injured even if they play their best defense. Real Madrid or Manchester City have much better bench players than Liverpool side bench players so if a Real Madrid or Manchester City player gets injured then they get better support from the bench players. The difference between Liverpool's regular performers and those sitting on the bench is huge so injuries could be a concern for Liverpool. Mohamed Salah has been excellent in Liverpool's attacking department and has suffered very few injuries. Liverpool will want Mohamed Salah to be 100% fit as the team's success depends on Mohamed Salah's goals.

Joining teams like Toulouse, Union Saint-Gilloise and LASK gives Liverpool a big advantage. Another factor that supports Liverpool will emerge as group E winners because of their increasingly good performance. The quality of these three teams, which are still far below Liverpool, makes it easier for Liverpool in the group stage. Liverpool can confirm themselves as group winners before all the matches in the group stage have finished being played.

This condition is very beneficial for Jurgen Klopp, he can rotate players in the remaining matches to protect the main players from the risk of injury. Apart from having to focus on the Europa League, Klopp is also very serious about the EPL, he will try to lead Liverpool to win the Europa League title and compete with Manchester City and Arsenal in the race for the Premier League title.

Liverpool's group in Europa League isn't that top and should end first in front of Toulouse or Saint-Gilloise or LASK. If they win their next game vs Toulouse which I assume they will do, they could confirm qualification since the 4th matchday. This will give them advantage in the next round.
Once qualified, there is few teams currently here that could annoy them like Bayer Leverkusen, Roma, Atalanta mainly without forgetting those that will get demoted from Champions League race. I think Liverpool's chance to get to the finals are quite big.

No one knows what will happen in the course of this season but indeed a team is built with readiness in everything including backing who is ready to replace injured main players in order to stabilize the team's performance, I think Liverpool has this.
However, it is a bit difficult for Liverpool because they are also competing fiercely in the race for the Preier League title and also have to maintain the possibility of winning the Europa League. I think it is possible even though it is a little difficult for them.

This is more than likely, unless these players are rarely played in every match. And during this season Liverpool have done better than last season and also rotated players quite well so that Liverpool can again compete quite fiercely in the Premier League and also in the European League by ranking first in group E. I believe that this season Liverpool will continue to fight and put up a very good fight in every match to prove to everyone that Liverpool is a team that is still strong and consistent.

Expecting 100% injury-free results is impossible, especially if a team has many competitions to participate in. That is why squad depth is very necessary for a team to ensure consistency in the game. It is very difficult to find reserve players with the same quality as the main players because apart from the expensive salaries which of course will burden the club's finances, quality players will also prefer to play in teams that use them as the starting XI, so what Liverpool have to do is rotate as best as possible for each player.

Every team wants to have an injury-free XI to perform from the beginning to the end of the season, but injuries are like girlfriends who are not with you and suddenly come back. Those who play in Liverpool's XI are far better performers than the players sitting on the side bench, so if any of the players in the starting XI get injured, it will have a very bad effect on the team. Liverpool must expect something good in this season, if they expect something good, Liverpool must perform 100 percent injury free in this season. Liverpool are performing well with their best XI in the Premier League and they are also unbeaten in the Europa League so Liverpool are considered as one of the favorites this season.

Your opinion is very accurate, and for me Liverpool is the clear winner of this Europa League, but I also think that Leverkussen can make the difference noticeable, in this order of ideas I could say that it is not good to make such early predictions, Because let's remember what happened last season in the Europa League, everyone gave Barcelona and MU as favorites, which was very disappointing for both teams and the one who ended up winning, at least for me, didn't convince me, I still believe that the calrognaador of the Europa Legue for me it was always Roma, and for me they did steal the game from Mou, but things have already happened, this is a clean slate, but seeing how the teams are I would say that the best thing here is to take it for granted Because the European League has a high level that any of the teams that are here can lead and this is something that is clearly noticeable, when we see the performance of the players in this league, when we see that they can achieve what very few they do, and they can surprise any team because that makes the difference.

I like how important you talk about the Bundesliga, because everyone talks about how well Bayern is doing, and I don't blame them, they also put a direct and higher level rival to Dormund, then UNion Berlin, but few comments I have seen good things about Leverkussen and this team can make a difference, I think that I see that Liveprool will be in the next UCL, because it is a team that is very strange not to be there but in the Europa League, but due to something happening and some other teams, I think this is going away It's very interesting, I don't risk giving opinions or making predictions about what is going to happen, this can change from one month to the next.

Brighton and Hove Albion of a fact has been doing well in the English Premier League for the past two seasons but there's no way one can say that they're one of the favourites to win this season's UEFA Champions League competition. Playing in the competition for the first time in their history, Brighton lost their first game of the season in the competition to AEK Athena before playing out a 1:1 draw with Marseille. They have a game on Thursday against Ajax and needs to win that game to still have any chances of progressing to the next round of the competition.

Brighton is a new comer on Europa league so i couldn't agree if you says they are strong contender for Europa league title and besides that Brighton performance is far to decent as strong team in this competition because from the latest 2 matches Brighton haven't gets the winning results even so with Ajax that i am not really sure why they are so weak this season and today at Eredivisie Ajax has lose again from Utrecht which make their position at relegation zone
However a bit surprised to see the current odds for Brighton because the bookmakers provide low odds for them @1.37 and for Ajax @7.40 but if we see the conditions of Ajax indeed they seems similar just like a mediocre team now and probably Brighton can gets their first winning in this competition by beat Ajax

Yes, I think that the key will be to keep all the players injury free for Liverpool. If the players are not injured, I think they will be able to perform really well. I believe Liverpool is going to be one of the biggest competitor to win the Europa league competition if not the biggest. The way Liverpool is performing right now, I don't think anyone is going to doubt them to go very far in the Europa league competition. And even in the English Premier League, they are showing good performance.
I also don't have any doubt about another thing which is, Liverpool is certainly playing in the Champions League next season.

I don't know how, but Sevilla always seems to be better in the Europa League. Or maybe they feel more confident if they play in the Europa League. But currently Sevilla in the Champions League has not won and has not lost. They only have 2 draws. And this makes their position still uncertain whether they will qualify or not. Or it will actually come back to the Europa League. 

But I believe this time the Europa League will belong to Liverpool. Every time Liverpool qualify for the European League, they always dominate this competition. And Roma also seems to have quite high ambitions this season. Last season they failed. And yes, this season they seem to be trying again to get to the top.

Things haven't been going on well for Brighton in the Premier League for a couple of weeks. They have played tough matches and couldn't win for 3 weeks. They couldn't start the Europa League nicely either. They are still winless in the group. Let's say I understood the draw against Marseille but they should have been able to defeat AEK home easily.

Brighton were one of the biggest contenders for the Europa League title before the group stage started. But now they are far away from that point. They have 2 consecutive matches against Ajax now. While Ajax is in big crisis I expect solid performances from Brighton players to collect at least 4 points from these matches. Maybe I can add Brighton win to my betslip too but the odds are locked for now. I guess it would be around 1.35-1.4.

Last season in the Premier League, Liverpool did not perform as well as they could have in the Champions League, which is why they qualified for the Europa League. This is the first season for Liverpool in the Europa League and in the first season Liverpool are one of the favorites in the Europa League. 

Mohamed Salah, Díaz, Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, V. van Dijk are many important players of Liverpool. If all these players are injury free and fully fit till the end of the season then I am sure Liverpool will win the Europa League title this season. Liverpool didn't qualify for the Champions League this season I think they have nothing to worry about as they look to win another major tournament title.

There is a very big possibility that Sevilla can play in the Europa League this season, Arsenal and Lens are competing closely and Sevilla has the possibility of finishing in 3rd place and playing in the Europa League.
And there is no doubt about Sevilla's mentality in the Europa League because they have proven it last season when the team's performance was very bad in La Liga but they still managed to win the Europa League title.

Liverpool is indeed a strong team and they are very favorites, but this is the Europa League where surprises often occur, so I don't think it will be easy for Liverpool to go further and win the title.

Everton gave Liverpool issues from the first half till the moment they got carded. The red card spoiled the game, but that didn't put Everton down they attacked hard and defended like hell.
Liverpool may be good while attacking but take a peep at the defense and you'll see how shaky and unbalanced they are at the moment.

Liverpool had good counter attacks yesterday but Everton did have good tackling and defending jobs. Ashley Young seemed pretty disappointed after he was carded. That was accurate, it was the right call for the officiating individuals to make. Though, similar scenes like that came up ( Konate should have been carded red ) and same with ( Tmikas ).

Yes, Sevilla is indeed king in the European league because they are the team with the most trophies at the moment. Well, if you look at their performance in the champions league, it could be that they will have difficulty qualifying for the round of 16 because they are unable to compete with Arsenal and Lens. but they still have a chance because there are still 4 more matches that they can maximize to improve their performance.

So, if they are eliminated in the champions league, of course they will play in the european league this season. It is certain that Liverpool will face an extraordinary challenge if sevilla joins the european league if they are eliminated from the Champions league.

Currently, only liverpool are strong enough in the european league and they are so consistent in every match. Roma will try to improve their performance and they will still be a team to be reckoned with.

Liverpool is very consistent on EPL. No doubt if this club will have bigger chance to win the europa league to be qualified for the UCL instantly. Liverpool is now going back to the best performance.
As long as salah wil not be injured and the chance owned by liverpool to win the league is very big this time. Liverpool can play better only if salah was also playing in the club. I can imagine liverpool without salah like a toothless club.
The consistency of liverpool to win any game in the group stage made me believe if liverpool can do something.

Not again as this season there are better teams in the Europa than it used to be before, currently we have the likes of Liverpool, Brighton, Bayern Leverkusen and so many others just to mention but a few, if Sevilla happens to get pass other smaller team with their intimidation as stayed by you, I'm sure they wouldn't have it pass this bigger boys this season.

But I don't think Sevilla intentionally crashes out of the champions league just to be in the Europa league, the price attached to the UCL is they which any team would be willing to be proudly associated with and the game that comes with it as well so it's not unlikely they would intentionally crash out of  the league if the have the opportunity to further stay, just to bet at the Europa.

I have to agree with you regarding Sevilla, they are like kings in the Europa League competition, no different from Madrid in the UCL competition. Having the status as the club that has won the most European League trophies, Sevilla does have a strong mentality to compete with other clubs if they are actually eliminated in group B of the European Champions League this season. If you look at the current situation, Sevilla does have a chance to finish in third place in group B, behind Arsenal and Lens.

On the other hand, the favorite clubs in the European League this season are quite strong, but I think the favorite is Liverpool. Even though other clubs such as West Ham, Laverkusen and others cannot be underestimated, however the Europa League scenario could change significantly if Sevilla really returns, of course their performance will be very different to that in La Liga.
