Liverpool will entertain Napoli at Anfield Stadium on Tuesday night as the two sides look to battle it out for the top spot in Group A of the UCL.

Jurgen Klopp will opt for a 4-3-3 formation with several changes to the starting XI from the last game. Jordan Henderson might get the nod over Harvey Elliott in the midfield, whereas Ibhrahima Konate looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven as he hopes to impress in the defensive half.

Luciano Spalletti could set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation as well and is expected to make a few changes to his first XI for this game. Giovanni Simeone could replace Victor Osimhen to lead the charge against the Reds. The Italian head coach will instruct his players to withstand the waves of attacking pressure from the Merseyside club before hitting them quickly on the counter.
