Those three victories against Genk (two wins) and Red Bull Salzburg have taken Liverpool to the summit in Group E with nine points from four games ahead of Napoli in second place with eight points.
Liverpool will win the group with a game to spare with victory over Napoli, while a draw will be enough for last 16 qualification.
Star player Mohamed Salah started from the bench during the 2-1 away win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League at the weekend because of a small ankle problem and he’s expected to return to the starting XI against Napoli.
Liverpool XI vs Napoli (4-3-3): Alisson Becker; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dejan Lovren, Virgil Van Dijk, Andy Robertson; Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum; Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
