Keita and Matip to start: Predicted Liverpool line-up to face Napoli

Liverpool must go into their Champions League clash against Napoli with confidence after their 1-1 draw against Chelsea last the weekend.

A Daniel Sturridge wonder goal ensured we left the Bridge with a point and we could have had all three if our finishing was better.

The Reds dominated possession and had a number of chances to score and are still unbeaten in the Premier League.

Facing Napoli away in the Champions League won’t be easy but three points in Italy will make our remaining group games a formality.

We did well against PSG to start the campaign with a win and here is our predicted line-up for Liverpool against Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

Predicted Liverpool XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Jurgen Klopp

Alisson (GK)

Alisson was immense in keeping Chelsea from scoring more than one goal and the former AS Roma man must do well on his Italian return.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (RB)

The youngster was decent in the draw against the Blues and hopefully, will keep things tight at the back.

Joel Matip (CB)

Virgil van Dijk might be rested for the clash against Manchester City on Sunday, meaning we could see Matip get a start against the Serie A team.

Joe Gomez (CB)

The youngster is possibly the best defender in the team after Van Dijk and should keep his place in the side.

Andy Robertson (LB)

Robertson was an important attacking outlet in the game against Chelsea and the Scot should keep his spot in the team.

Georginio Wijnaldum (CM)

The Dutch midfielder had a decent outing in London and he needs to be at his best if we are to get a positive result on Wednesday.

James Milner (CM)

Milner worked his socks off in the 1-1 draw on Saturday and the Englishman should keep his spot in the team for this game.

Naby Keita (CM)

Jordan Henderson wasn’t great in the game against the Blues and Keita looked decent and hence, the former Leipzig man could get a start in Italy.

Mohamed Salah (RW)

The Egyptian is missing his touch in the final third but we should persist with him as he could fire against the Italian side.

Roberto Firmino (ST)

The Brazilian did a lot of hard work at Stamford Bridge but could not get a goal. Firmino should work his socks off again if we are to return with a win.

Sadio Mane (LW)

Mane had one quality chance that was saved well against the Blues and his pace will be important to unlocking the Naples defence.
