Liverpool could rest Sadio Mane against Napoli tonight, while Carlo Ancelotti pairs Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens in attack.

The Partenopei face the final Champions League game of Group C, and will qualify for the Last 16 if they avoid defeat at Anfield tonight.

If Paris Saint-Germain beat Red Star in Belgrade, a one goal loss by any score other than 1-0 will see the Serie A runners-up through.

Liverpool could rest Sadio Mane against Napoli tonight, while Carlo Ancelotti pairs Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens in attack.

The Partenopei face the final Champions League game of Group C, and will qualify for the Last 16 if they avoid defeat at Anfield tonight.

If Paris Saint-Germain beat Red Star in Belgrade, a one goal loss by any score other than 1-0 will see the Serie A runners-up through.

Napoli won 1-0 at the San Paolo, so if that score is reversed at Anfield the Reds would go through on goal difference, but if the visitors score in a one goal loss then they’d advance on away goals.

If PSG lose in Serbia, Ancelotti’s side will go through regardless of their result in England.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is likely to change his first choice front-three for the match, with Corriere dello Sport reporting that Daniel Sturridge will replace Sadio Mane.

The Senegalese will be on the bench though, and it’s likely he’ll be introduced at some point in the second half.

Ancelotti rested several players for the win over Frosinone, and is expected to go with a 4-4-2 with Insigne and Mertens leading the line.

David Ospina will return in goal, with Mario Rui replacing Faouzi Ghoulam at left-back.

Probable formations:

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Henderson, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Sturridge

Napoli: Ospina; Maksimovic, Albiol, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Callejon, Allan, Hamsik, Fabian Ruiz; Insigne, Mertens
