Favourites?

LFC skipper Jordan Henderson was put in front of the press alongside manager Jurgen Klopp. When the midfielder was asked if his side were this years' favourites, he stated:

"It's too early to say we're favourites. We've started well but we can still get better. We are trying to start the campaign off really well."

Robertson risk

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp revealed:

"Robbo didn’t train today and we have to see. It is not a major thing, it was more precautionary today, but it is not 100 per cent sure [he will be available]. We will have to test it tomorrow and then we will see."

Previous meeting

The two sides actually faced off in pre-season with Napoli running out comfortable 3-0 winners. Despite being a friendly, LFC actually fielded a strong side and you would have to assume they will be able to assert themselves a lot more this time around.

The holders

Liverpool's last memory of this competition is lifting the trophy on a magical night in Madrid. Goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi captured a sixth European title for LFC in June. Can they do something only Real Madrid have managed and go back to back?

Form

Liverpool come into this game boasting the Premier League's only perfect record. Jurgen Klopp and his side have enjoyed a faultless start as they bid to go one better than last season.

Napoli have won two of their first three league games with the loss coming to champions Juventus. Despite amassing six points, Napoli have leaked seven goals and will be conscious of affording opportunities to LFC's deadly forward trio.
