Liverpool begin their quest to avenge last season’s Champions League final defeat with a trip to face Napoli in their campaign opener.

The Reds looked muted in the showpiece game and will be determined to ignite a charge towards this season’s final.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have been patchy so far, they sit seventh in the Premier League table, but with Darwin Nunez back in the fold and more injury issues to be resolved soon, expect a steady rise back to the top.

The Reds will hope Mohamed Salah can recapture his finest form after firing blanks for much of 2022/23 so far.

Napoli won’t roll over, however. The Italian giants are second in Serie A following a red-hot start to the fresh campaign.

Our prediction: Napoli v Liverpool

Liverpool don’t boast a huge squad, even without injury issues, but they still have plenty of options on the table. Nunez’s return is crucial for the Reds, while a change in system isn’t out of the question given Roberto Firmino’s form. Klopp’s team is built for big European nights and you can expect another performance worthy of their tradition here.

Our prediction: Napoli 0-2 Liverpool (10/1 at bet365)
