Jurgen Klopp has said he expects a tough challenge from Napoli in their Champions League match on Wednesday
Napoli have run through consecutive six games without a win and are aiming to book their spot in the Knockout stages of the competition with a victory at Anfield.
Liverpool sits one point clear at the top of Group E table ahead of the crucial Champions League return leg tie on Wednesday night.
A win for either team means qualification to the knockout stages with one group game still at hand.
"I expect Napoli to be really strong for a number of reasons," said Klopp on his pre-match press conference.
"They are a really good football team and now they're not in Italy, they feel maybe relief they can play in this game. We have to be ready for that.
"Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season [in a 1-0 win for Liverpool].
"We have to make sure from the first second this is a different place. We want to go as far as possible in the Champions League. Napoli are experienced, tactically strong, super players."
