Liverpool v Napoli Preview and Prediction

Date/time: Tuesday 11^th December 2018 (Kick-off 8 PM)

On Tuesday night, Liverpool host Napoli at Anfield, in a vital game in Group C of the Champions League.

This group was always going to be tight and we head into gameweek six with Napoli, PSG and Liverpool are all in contention to make the knockout stages.

The scenario is simple for Liverpool, as the Reds have to win by two clear goals to progress to the knockout stages of the competition. Napoli only need a draw to head through to the last 16.

The Reds have been in good form in the Premier League, but Jurgen Klopp’s team have lost all three of their away games in the Champions League this season, leaving their chances of making it to the knockout stages hanging by a thread.
