Liverpool is looking for redemption as they host an unbeaten Napoli side in their last round of group stage fixture. The Reds would need a victory by a margin of 4 or more goals if they are to leapfrog Napoli, while the Italian outfit will look to maintain their position at the pinnacle of the group.
Jurgen Klopp’s men would be aware of the attacking threat the Italian side would bring to Anfield. After conceding four goals in the reverse encounter, the Reds need to produce a strong and cohesive defensive outing to overcome Napoli’s challenge. After beating Manchester City, Liverpool has lost two games to Nottingham Forest and Leeds United and would look to put these blushes away with three points against an unbeaten Napoli outfit. A win could put the English side at the top of the table and could be crucial in their upcoming fixtures.
Napoli has shocked the world with outstanding performances this summer. Luciano Spalletti’s side would look to extend their 100 percent unbeaten record in Europe when they travel to England. The Italian outfit has an astounding attack battery which has proved to hammer goals week in and week out. Napoli has bashed 20 goals in the group stages in Europe which is 4 more than any other team as they’ll look to extend this record. Although Napoli has already qualified for the knockout stages of the tournament, the club would look to ensure three more points to send out a statement to their upcoming opponents.
