Team News
Liverpool
Napoli
- Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Joe Gomez are Jurgen Klopp's only injury concerns ahead of the welcome of Napoli.
- Joel Matip could again start alongside Virgil van Dijk here, though Dejan Lovren is an option to deputise for the injured Gomez.
- Klopp has a selection headache in midfield, with Fabinho and Naby Keita pushing for starts, though the Reds boss could continue with James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Georgino Wijnaldum.
- Vlad Chiriches and Simone Verdi are both sidelined for Napoli in this crunch Champions League tie.
- Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti isn't expected to make wholesale changes to his XI for this one, and despite a fine showing against Frosinone, Arkadiusz Milik should drop out with Dries Mertens starting alongside Lorenzo Insigne up front.
TBF it's an absolute joke that Napoli were pot 2 and Liverpool pot 3 when you have Lokomotiv Moscow as a pot 1 team cos they won the Russian league! UEFA's system is completely flawed hence this group being as tough as it was.
@Nico1 - I would agree with you if the implication wouldn't be the rich getting richer and the poor teams having no chance to advance, hence getting poorer. Besides, it's still called the Champions League, isn't it?
What a save for Alisson at the end of the match. Congrats for Liverpool. Lets see who they get now, imagine if they get Barca :D
@stefanm God no! I hope Barca gets either Roma or Atleti. Unfinished business.
@stefanm OMG would be so great!
Someone needs to teach Klopp three words 'park the bus'. They have 10 minutes left and they're still playing with three lingering up front. Could have brought in Fabinho or Keita much earlier for one of the attackers.
@Yassine_1 liverpool cant play 'park the bus' mode. when they try it, they always conceded goals
@Yassine_1 6 goals conceded in 16 games. I think Klopp knows better than you mate. Parking the bus would have just invited Napoli to attack them.
what a game from Liverpool, i must stay Virgil doesnt stop to impress me, this is the first defender which is allowed to do anything in offesinve, he is the next level defender, i have watched prime Vidic, Maldini and Hummels to throw passes everywhere, but he is like striker also. Neuer of defence, Liverpool are so good to watch when everything is on the verge. Bravo Klopp.
@koevasd123 Liverpool been solid in defense. credit to Klopp for fixing that leaky defense of last year just by 2 additions. I thought they needed a whole new back line and a goalie.
goodbye liverpool
@watari Stick around and celebrate with us. We will drink your tears and have a good laugh
Mané *facepalm*
@leZickzack How is it possible to waste that many chances?
Mane what a player.
@segetey Yeah, he misses even the best chances ...
Fabinho and Keita are criminally underused by Klopp.
Insigne to score in second half , 1-1 final result.
How it's not Ospina's error leading to goal? He gambled and lost, clear mistake.
@fosfor85 that's not a mistake, he was outplayed
Let's see if Klopp bashes Van Dijk for breaking Mertens leg or not it's only a problem when its against you
@Sinaj Wasn't even worth a yellow. Poor decision by the ref.
@Big_Boss - I guess you haven't seen the replay. Cleats into the shin = ouch!
Fabian so bad today, his every pass goes to the defence, so many times he lost the ball as well, hopefully Ancelotti will bring Zielinski in.
'he only performs against weak teams' 'one season wonder' 'overrated'
0-0, 0-1
Klopp has chosen less creative midfield Milner Henderson wijnaldum
Most likely 1-0 or 1-1 I think Liverpool will qualify tonight
@Nanami Not with 1-1
UNDER 3 LOCK
@FutbolEZ BEST CAPPER ON HERE!!
liverpool and btts
OVER 2.5 Goals
Liverpool needs to win 1-0 or by two goals margin if they concede... Any other result means Napoli to qualify... So im expecting a very closed game from both sides... neither wants to concede..
Ladies & Gentlemen Tips for Today: Liverpool win @1.70 / Barcelona vs Tottenham BTTS @1.50 / PSG win @1.20 / Inter Milano win @1.40 , Total odds @4.00 , Good Luck Guys
Liverpool 0 - 1 Napoli don't see Ancelotti and Napoli losing or drawing
2-1
What happens if Liverpool win and PSG draw? All teams will be on 9 points. Then Napoli better h2h than PSG. PSG better h2h than Liverpool. Liverpool better h2h than Napoli
@mIKe9441 It comes down to a head to head group between the 3 teams (basically excluding the results of the games against Red Star). Liverpool would finish 1st as they would have 6 points in games between the 3 teams whereas Naplio and PSG only have 5. Napoli would come 2nd as they have the better head to head vs PSG by virtue of away goals in matches between the 2 teams.
@mIKe9441 im sorry.. Napoli H2H record is better than PSG.. tie breaking will go to 6th rule which is group overall goal difference.
@mIKe9441 Liverpool need to either win to nil, or if Napoli score they must win by 2 goals to qualify.
@RMartin PSG will top the group and Liverpool/Napoli will be decided as Martin explained.
Napoli to win, Crvena to win, and qualify to Europa League over Liverpool.
1-1 for me. Napoli to qualify. Either way should be a quality game not to miss this one.
Napoli are the classic counter attacking team and could get a win at Liverpool.
@nexus747 at Anfield? No chance. Will be a cagey game for sure...
@RMartin Napoli can play cagey too just look at the first leg
Liverpool is the great favour but unfortunately they will join Chelsea in Europa after tonight. The reason is simple, check the Coach of The Naples, the great Europe Champion master - Ancelotti
@ambrose OK
@ambrose Ancelotti got fired 5 times in his career...
@neumi17 but him still coach good football
@neumi17 ancheloti has cl 3times while klopp has shit
Liverpool win 3:1
your predictions suck again
Usually i don't like backing against Italian sides in the champions league but Napoli usually don't perform well on the road in the UCL. They were good against PSG but except for that their form has been pretty poor over the last few years.
@angelo44 good against PSG. Beat Liverpool and beat Red Star. Who did Liverpool beat?
@albgunn he said 'on the road' meaning playing away from home. Napoli haven't won away in the CL this yea, they drew both games.
@Jonnyh140109 The prediction is a draw anyways.
hard to predict, my mind says Napoli but heart says Liverpool
@CabduKuus69 my liver says Napoli but my pancreas says Liverpool
just remember the score line at PARC da princes Liverpool fans better cool down bcoz they r getting carried away by that salah hatrick against ake, cook n begovic n they forget they r 2 b against koulibaly ,albiol n ospina.even anchelloti is far better than eddy howee .sound advice just pray, pray real hard but remember even God sometimes is selective in his replies
@bryayz kust remember they will play in font of kop..
@Shizou Liverpool had 2 dig deep against Everton at anfield,Everton has scored 23&conceded 19 while napoli has scored 32 n conceded 14 wic means Napoli will b more leathal in front of goal n more solid defensively.And pliz don't expect that glaring Pickford mistake 4m ospina
1X&BTTS
1-1 draw and Napoli goes through. Forza Napoli!!
No chance for napoli to go trought in anfield hell.i predict a 3.0 home win
1-0 or 2-0. Klopp hinted at tactics change. Wonder what it could be. I doubt Henderson will start.
@koziol.mutant Klopp is an idiot. Not using Fabinho as DF or LB in the mid season proofs that he is really crap. Last match Liverpool just need to defense one point and he use an usual attacking form against PSG.
@ambrose - LOL @ calling a manager as successful as Klopp an "idiot" and "really crap". Especially for not playing a player at a position he's never played. Fabinho is a defensive midfielder and he started his career as a right back, so maybe he can play a little there, too. But as a centre-half or left back? LOL @ you!
If Liverpool wins only by one goal and Napoli scores at least one goal, and PSG wins (likely), Liverpool is still 3rd place right? Napoli would have more away goals in direct matches vs Liverpool due to their 1-0 victory in Napoli. Means Liverpool will try to win by more than one goal, and Napoli would be content by losing by one goal as long as they manage to score one.
@dumpinator Liverpool needs to win 1:0 , or 3:1
@dumpinator Wrong. A 1-0 win for Liverpool would level up the head to head record and it would then come down to GD (which would also be equal) but then come down to goals for (which would in favour of Liverpool). So if Liverpool go 1-0 up Napoli have to come out and score. Unless of course PSG fail to win. A PSG draw and a Liverpool win (by any scoreline) would see all 3 teams level on 9 points and the creation of a mini league between these 3 teams. In that scenario Liverpool would top the group as they would have 6 points in the mini league in comparison to Napoli and PSG's 5. As for 2nd place in that scenario it would be Napoli as they have the better head to head record vs PSG by virtue of away goals.
@dumpinator right
I am going with 4-1 Liverpool, the pitch will a big part in this game. In Napoli the pitch was terrible ball never zipped around for LFC which is what they like for quick attacks. Also, Klopp is going to go for attack with 4-2-3-1 formation, Allision, Trent, Matip, VVD, Robertson, Wilnaldum, Fabhino, Kieta, Mane, Firmino and Salah. Unleash the attach on Napoli and see what happens.
Napoli seems weak away from home with only 2 points out of 9. Liverpool to win at home with both team to score. It wouldn't surprise me if there were plenty of goals in this game coz goal difference might come into play here.
@PredatorSG1 if you mean the away games in UCL, then it's 2 out of 6 points. one of those 2 points is disappointment, the other one is a half-miracle. just a little correction.
@PredatorSG1 Napoli have won 3 of their last 4 games, so i think they are probably just fine away from home.
LIV 2-1
lads. Liverpool wins. A smart bet is Liverpool winning in the end of the first half.
1-0 to really just edge it through in hollywood style...
Liverpool win 2-1
There is no way in hell Liverpool will get past Koulibaly,and even if they do Insigne and Mertens will equalise.I guarantee you Napoli and Mbappe FC will go through
@Valak ahahhahah loser
@Valak ur just trying to piss off Neymar so he drops the ball, that way Liv and Nap go through...
Napoli Win and Over 3.5
Bye Liverpool
I predict 3-1 for Liverpool. Napoli have never actually succeeded when everything is on the line. They will go down to Europa and find a way to lose that too. I hope for a Napoli win, due to the fact I am Italian, but there is no way they make it out of this group. i could be wrong but I think the smart money is on Liverpool and PSG to progress.
@capra You are right
@capra LOL, ur my kinda idiot ROTFLMAO
@offside Let me see your LOL thing after the match and i will know who is the idiot
@Cannavaro69 calm down, i agree with him, just the colourfull analysis makes me chuckle, its likely liverpool are going to europa, but they definately wont struggle there... I'm hoping klopp attacks today, this cud be highly entertaining...
@offside ok dude , peace
1-1
1:0 will be enough to qualify. However, something changed to worse when it comes to creating opportunities for Liverpool.. . This will be hard game, very hard.
