Liverpool Taraftarium24 will be looking to get their campaign off to a positive start against Napoli as the two teams meet in a 2022-23 Champions League TV Group A clash in Naples on Wednesday, but the Partenopei will be keen to extend their eight-game unbeaten home run in the competition.
However, the Reds have their own golden streak of nine successive away wins in the European top flight, before the 1-0 loss to Real Madrid in the final, and Jurgen Klopp will want his troops to start afresh from the goalless draw in the Merseyside derby against Everton last Saturday.
Napoli, who defeated Lazio 2-1 in their last outing in Serie A, have faced a last-32 exit from their last two Europa League appearances but Luciano Spalletti will want to see out a fourth home clean sheet against Liverpool.

Napoli squad & team news
Napoli forward Hirving Lozano was involved in a clash of heads in the first half of the Lazio win. Although scans did not indicate any serious injury, the Mexican should be kept out of the tie as per protocol.
That would allow for Matteo Politano to come in alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen in the forward trident.
Other than Lozano, Diego Demme is yet to fully recover from a broken foot.
