Liverpool kick start their Champions League campaign at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday night against hosts Napoli in the Group A match.
Jurgen Klopp’s Merseysiders will be hoping for a swift return to winning ways days after being involved in a nil-nil stalemate against city rivals Everton over the weekend.
The Reds were not at their brilliant best in the derby draw and with Luciano Spalletti’s Serie A table-toppers Napoli to look forward to in the midweek outing, Klopp will be counting on his players to perform on all fronts.
