Jurgen Klopp’s side still continues to produce inconsistent results. They are struggling to gain any kind of momentum and are frequently falling short to grind out the results like last season. On the back of two successive defeats in the Premier League, they are sitting ninth in the table with 16 points from 12 games. However, the Reds can take comfort from their Champions League form, where they have won four on the bounce to have 12 points. Liverpool can still leapfrog Napoli for the top spot but to that, they have to win this match by a huge margin – a task which is extremely difficult to achieve.

Both sides will have a few absentees for this match, with Liverpool continuing to miss the majority of them. Klopp will still be without Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Joel Matip and Arthur. It is unlikely that they will return to action anytime soon. Besides, they will also miss Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita. Liverpool have an important game against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, hence Klopp might keep one eye on that fixture while naming his squad for the Napoli clash. Meanwhile, Amir Rrahmani will not be available for Napoli. He will be joined on the sidelines by Salvatore Sirigu.
Liverpool possible line-up: Alisson, Trent, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Elliott, Henderson, Salah, Carvalho, Nunez
Napoli possible starting line-up: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Juan, Kim, Rui, Lobotka, Ndombele, Elmas, Lozano, Raspadori, Osimhen
