Confirmed LFC team to face Napoli – Keita starts for Reds

Napoli vs Liverpool Stream

Liverpool face Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo for their second Champions League group C fixture on Wednesday night.

The Reds will be looking to carry on from their opening day victory against Paris Saint-Germain a fortnight ago with a win against Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

Jurgen Klopp makes the sole change to his side for tonight’s tie, with Naby Keita coming into the starting eleven that drew with Chelsea at the weekend.

Alisson, as expected, starts in goal for Liverpool on his return to Italy – with Simon Mignolet deputising for the Brazilian on the substitutes bench.
