Liverpool look to bounce back from their poor performance in the English Premier League, in which The Reds are 19th placed in the table. In the Europe League, Liverpool have beaten Steaua Bucharest 4-1 at Anfield, but were held to a dull 0-0 draw at Dutch side Utrecht. Roy Hodgson will count with Fernando Torres and Steve Gerrard but is also without Glen Johnson, Daniel Agger and Dirk Kuyt due to injuries, but Christian Poulsen returns after missing last weekend’s game.
Napoli, meanwhile, will be with Lavezzi and Hamsik in the attack, both suported by Gargano y Pazienza in the midfield. Napoli are currently fourth in the Serie A, just behind Inter Milan. Napoli drew with Catania 1-1 in their domestic League match. This result could be delusive because Napoli won Roma 2-0 recently in an impressed match.
Napoli (3-4-2-1): De Sanctis; Aronica, Cannavaro, Grava; Dossena, Gargano, Pazienza, Maggio; Lavezzi, Hamsik.
Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Reina; Konchesky, Skrtel, Carragher, Kelly; Spearing, Poulsen; Babel, Cole, Maxi; Ngog.
