Liverpool can make it two
wins from two in this season’s Champions League when they visit Napoli on
Wednesday evening.
The Reds visit the Stadio
San Paolo on their worst run of form of the season so far, having been defeated
and then drawn with Chelsea in the space of three days.
Klopp’s side lost their
first match of the season last week when Chelsea beat the Reds in the Carabao
Cup.
However, confidence is high
around Anfield given the club’s last-gasp win over PSG on Champions League
matchday one, which puts Jurgen Klopp’s side in a great position to progress to
the knockout rounds of Europe’s premier cup competition.
Klopp has an almost
full-strength squad available for the clash against Napoli, with Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain the only definite absentee. Adam Lallana and Divock Origi are
doubts for Wednesday’s fixture, but it is unlikely they would be in Liverpool’s
strongest line-up anyway.
The biggest question for
Klopp heading into the match is whether to include Daniel Sturridge in the
starting line-up on the back of the England international scoring goals in both
of Liverpool’s matches against Chelsea.
He is on a better run of
form than Liverpool’s first-choice attacking trio – all of whom were rather
woeful in Saturday’s draw with the Blues – but Klopp may not want to risk
Sturridge from the start seeing as Roberto Firmino brings so much more to the
table in the defensive phase, and this could prove so important in a European
away fixture.
