The Reds had enjoyed a perfect start before Chelsea knocked them out of the EFL Cup last week and were then held to a 1-1 draw by the Blues at Stamford Bridge in the league on Saturday.
They still travel to Naples in good shape and are looking to make it two wins out of two in Europe following a dramatic 3-2 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in their opener last month.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are being tipped to mount a serious Premier League title challenge this term but also have aspirations in Europe as they look to make up for May’s defeat in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
