Predicted Liverpool XI: Napoli (A)

Liverpool will begin their European title defence against Italian side Napoli away at the Stadio San Paolo on Tuesday night.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are the only team in the Premier League to have won all of their five league games so far. Even not at their best, they have looked a side who know how to win games from tricky situations.

On Tuesday, the Reds are up against a Napoli side who they met last year too and had to beat them in the last group game at Anfield to progress into the knockout stages.

However, the corresponding fixture 12 months ago ended in favour of Carlo Ancelotti’s men, who were tactically better on the night.

Therefore, the opportunity presents for Liverpool to make a winning start to their title defence in Italy. In terms of team news, they will miss the services of Alisson, Naby Keita and Nathaniel Clyne as usual. Divock Origi twisted his ankle slightly against Newcastle and is not travelling with the squad.

Here’s how we think Klopp may line his XI tomorrow:
