What They're Saying
Lille striker Divock Origi (via UEFA): "For the moment, I am thinking about Lille, not Liverpool. Our Europa League section could be a Champions League one given the high-level teams. We know it'll be the small details that make a difference."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez (via Sky Sports): "I was a big admirer of the way Lille played last season. In some of the games, they were really brave and really open. This season they have started well, but are waiting to really click and that is our worry. We don't want them to click tomorrow. We need to be concentrating on what we want to do and make sure we perform extremely well."
