What are the current positions of Liverpool and Napoli in the Champions League's Group C?
Liverpool is on the brink of demotion to the Europa League as it currently ranks third in Group C. The Reds have recorded just six points from a possible 15 on the European front this season. Napoli tops the group with nine points after five games.
What is the current form of Liverpool in contrast to Napoli's?
On the domestic front, the form of Liverpool is matched by a handful as far as European football is concerned. The Reds are currently on a 15-game unbeaten run, only dropping points in draws against Chelsea and Arsenal respectively.
The scenario is however different in the Champions League with Jurgen Klopp's side failing to register a win in its last two games. Napoli, on the other hand, has excelled on both the domestic and international front.
Under the supervision of Carlo Ancelotti, the Partenopei is currently on a 12-game unbeaten run across all competitions. The Serie A outfit last saw defeat in the 3-1 thrashing at the Allianz Stadium against league leaders Juventus back in September.
Liverpool and Napoli head-to-head record
The two clubs have met just four times in the past. Liverpool leads the number of victories with a tally of two and has been defeated on one occasion by Napoli. The last meeting between the two clubs ended 1-0 in favor of Carlo Ancelotti's team.
Who is injured and/or suspended for Liverpool vs Napoli?
Vlad Chiriches and Simone Verdi will both miss out Tuesday's crunch affair through injury. David Ospina, Raul Albiol, Dries Mertens, and Jose Callejon who were rested in the weekend's win over Frosinone are expected to be back in the starting line-up.
For Liverpool, Dejan Lovren remains a doubt due after sustaining a concussion. As a result, Jurgen Klopp could resort to the Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk partnership which featured in the weekend's thrashing of Bournemouth.
Joe Gomez, Nathaniel Clyne and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remain longer-term absentees, while Adam Lallana is a doubt after suffering a head injury on Saturday.
