Liverpool vs Napoli confirmed lineups and team news ahead of Champions League fixture tonight

Jurgen Klopp leads Liverpool in the final gameweek of the Champions League group stage with Group A leaders Napoli travelling to Anfield.

Luciano Spalletti’s side have taken European football by storm this season, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia the danger man for the visitors.

A victory alone will not be enough for the Reds to top Group A, meaning they will need to reverse the 4-1 loss they suffered in the fixture in Naples.

The Reds will be desperate for a morale-boosting victory after the shock loss to Leeds last time out, although Tottenham await this weekend in what represents another crucial match in the battle to finish inside the Premier League’s top four.

Here is everything you need to know.

When is Liverpool vs Napoli?

The Champions League fixture kicks off at 8pm GMT, Tuesday 1 November.

How to watch

The game will be broadcast live on BT Sport 3 in the UK. Subscribing customers can stream the match online via the BT Sport website and app. Coverage starts at 7:15pm GMT.

Confirmed line-ups

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Milner, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Jones

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.
