Liverpool kick-off their Champions League campaign with a tricky fixture against Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to shake the hangover of Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in last year’s final with a dominant performance against Luciano Spalletti’s side, who currently sit second in Serie A.

Napoli, however, who have taken 11 points from a possible 15 so far this season, were victorious in their last game, beating Lazio 2-1 thanks to another goal from danger man Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Reds will have to be wary of the Georgian summer signing, who’s already bagged 4 goals in just 5 matches this season.
As well as Napoli, Liverpool are also joined by Ajax and Rangers in group A, making it a difficult set of fixtures for the Merseyside club.
