Head To Head
Alisson's injury means that the elite keeper will not be able to repeat the kind of marvellous save he produced late on to keep Liverpool in the Champions League when they edged past Napoli at Anfield in December.

Salah scored the 34th-minute winner that night, sealing a vital three points on the fourth meeting between these clubs.

Before Napoli won in Naples, their previous encounter was in the 2010-11 Europa League group stage, when the match in Italy finished goalless.

The return game was contrastingly goal-laden and put Liverpool on a precipice again. Ezequiel Lavezzi scored in the first half, only for a typically timely Steven Gerrard hat-trick in the final 15 minutes, including goals in the 88th and 89th minutes.

Neither Liverpool nor Napoli enjoyed much onward success in Europe that season, finishing first and second

Wonder if we’ll see Gomez at RB to sure up the defence a bit especially as it’s away from home.
