Very nice poster this Tuesday evening at Anfield for the last day of Group D of the Champions League. Liverpool, second, receives Napoli, leader: a meeting to follow live commented on Foot Mercato. Already qualified for the round of 16, the two teams will compete for first place in the group, with a clear advantage to the Italians: the Reds must win with at least four goals to overtake their opponent in the evening. Napoli, which is making an exceptional start to the season (15 wins, 2 draws, 0 losses, 50 goals scored TCC), could end its group phase with 18 points taken from a possible 18 if successful.
Jurgen Klopp still has to do without Luis Díaz, Diogo Jota, Arthur Melo, Joël Matip and Naby Keita. The German technician proceeds to the turnover with in particular the incorporation of James Milner in the middle and the return of the French Ibrahima Konaté in the axis of the defense. Note the presence of young Curtis Jones alongside Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino in attack. On the Napoli side, it was Leo Ostigard, scorer last week, who was preferred to Juan Jesus to make up for the absence of Amir Rahmani in central defense. In the midfield, Tanguy Ndombele will be present as will André Franck Zambo Anguissa, but not Piotr Zieliński. Luciano Spalletti can count on his fiery duo Kvaratskhelia – Osimhen (27 G+A between them).
The official compositions:
liverpool : Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konaté, Tsimikas – Fabinho, Milner, Thiago Alcantara – Salah, Firmino, Jones.
Naples : Meret – Di Lorenzo, Kim Min-jae, Ostigard, Olivera – Zambo Anguissa, Lobotka, Ndombélé – Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.
