After a shock loss to Leeds, the Reds enter tonight’s game three points off the Italians, but a victory is unlikely to be enough to take top spot given the 4-1 loss in Naples earlier in the campaign.
The hosts will have to watch out for Napoli’s talisman Khvicha Kvaratshkelia once more after the Georgian gave the Reds a torrid time in the reverse fixture.
While rotation could be tempting for Klopp with a crucial Premier League match against Tottenham this weekend in the battle to qualify for next season’s Champions League through a top four finish.

Confirmed line-ups

Napoli XI: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Kim, Olivera; Ndombele, Lobotka, Anguissa; Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
Prediction
The Reds are struggling for confidence and could prioritise the weekend’s Premier League fixture with Spurs, a top four rival at this stage now. Napoli are in fine form but could lack the motivation to press for a win entering the fixture with such a cushion at the top of Group A. With that in mind, a draw may suit both sides. 1-1.
