Rafa's record in Europe speaks for itself and I have no doubt it is a massive boost for the players Jan Molby

All things considered, Liverpool should brush aside Toulouse on Tuesday to book their place in the group stage of Champions League.

Andriy Voronin's spectacular strike gave the Reds a 1-0 victory over the ultra-cautious French outfit in the away leg on 15 August.

And Liverpool head to Anfield knowing they have an imperious record there in Europe under manager Rafa Benitez.

Since they surprisingly lost their first home Champions League game under Benitez to Austrian side Graz AZ in August 2004, Liverpool have won 14 of their 20 European games on Merseyside.

Only CSKA Sofia, Benfica and Barcelona have left with a win, and only the Portugese managed overall victory on the back of that.

Liverpool's home form has been the backbone of their march to two Champions League finals in the last three seasons - including their memorable triumph in 2005.

So will this be the first game of another successful Euro campaign at Anfield?

Former Liverpool playmaker Jan Molby tells BBC Sport how he thinks his old team will fare.

Toulouse will have to show something that they didn't in the first leg if they want to get anything at Anfield and I just don't think they are capable.

French football is very defensive and Toulouse are very organised but they don't score enough goals and I don't see them having enough in attack to cause Liverpool any problems.

It was strange that they did not have more ambition in the first leg in France.

They will need to attack now and if a good team comes to Anfield and does that they can cause Liverpool problems.

But for a team with the limitations of Toulouse, to do that will mean they will leave themselves wide open and pushing forward will just play into Liverpool's hands.

As he always does, Rafa did his homework on Toulouse ahead of the first leg and he knew how to beat them.

The way to play against them was not to make any mistakes, frustrate them, keep the ball and wait for a chance. And when Liverpool got their one chance they stuck it away.

Rafa's record in Europe speaks for itself and I have no doubt it is a massive boost for the players.

You just sense there is something different for these games. In the last couple of years I have been to Anfield and seen Liverpool play teams where you think they might struggle.

But it is as though they grow a couple of inches for those European games. The players can't get enough of them.

Rafa makes sure they are so well prepared and their record in Europe under him means they are full of confidence.

I don't think Rafa is ever happy - he is a very difficult manager to please - but he will certainly be encouraged.

He wants more all the time. More from the players in training and more from them in games and to be pushing players all the time is not a bad way to operate.

We have to realise that the team still has to gel and if and when that happens then their performances will improve.

The new signings are all looking good though.

Torres scored his first Liverpool goal in the draw with Chelsea

Fernando Torres and Voronin have both scored good goals and Babel has done well when he has played too.

Torres has shown why he is such a good player - he has got a good understanding of the game and he is very quick - but there is still a way to go for him.

The physical aspect of the game is something he has got to come to terms with and in the last 15 or 20 minutes against Chelsea he was out on his feet but that will all improve as he plays games.

He and Dirk Kuyt are the manager's preferred two up front and they are who I would go with.

They complement each other well - Torres is a striker who plays through the middle and he will more often than not spend his time in the penalty area while Dirk does his work all over the attacking third.

So it has been a solid start, although you have to remember that without Steven Gerrard's last-gasp free-kick against Aston Villa they would have drawn both their Premier League games.
