Team News

Dejan Lovren is back in contention for Liverpool’s crunch clash with Napoli after overcoming concussion.

The Croatian has missed the Reds’ last three outings after a clash of heads at Melwood but returned to training on the eve of tonight’s fixture to put himself in the frame for a comeback.

His availability comes as a welcome boost in the absence of Joe Gomez through a leg fracture.

Adam Lallana is also ready to feature despite needing stitches on a cut to the head picked up during his weekend cameo at Bournemouth.

Dominic Solanke and Nathaniel Clyne remain doubts after minor recent injury concerns, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rhian Brewster continue their recovery from long-term issues.

TV, online and live stream coverage

The match will be televised live on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport 4K UHD. BT Sport subscribers will be able to stream the match online via the video player and the BT Sport app.

Head to Head

Liverpool and Napoli have meet on four previous occasions.

Their last meeting, Napoli’s 1-0 win in Italy back in October, was the Italian’s first victory over Liverpool.

The Reds defeated Napoli 5-0 in an International Champions Cup match last summer, and 3-1 in the Europa League back in 2010
