Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Napoli

Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Champions League fixture against Napoli at Anfield.

Liverpool have the chance to move into top spot in Group E when they meet Napoli at Anfield in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Jurgen Klopp's men head into the game as considerable favourites due to their imperious home record and a recent slump in form from the Italian side.

However, the Reds will be conscious of the fact that Napoli are the only team to beat them this season, recording a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture in September.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of this game.
