Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Liverpool's crunch Champions League clash with Napoli in this Group C decider. Jurgen Klopp's side know what they have to do in order to keep their hopes alive in the competition. Quite simply, winning by more than one goal tonight will seal their place in the last 16, regardless of scores elsewhere. Should PSG win at Red Star Belgrade, which they should, then the Reds will need a 1-0 victory or a win by two goals or more to finish second in the group. If PSG somehow draw with Red Star, then Liverpool will progress with any margin of victory. Still don't understand? Have a read of our permutations guide.

Napoli are quite electric on the counter-attack. And if they score tonight the Reds will need to score three to qualify. We all know how deadly Liverpool's attack is, and that they will most likely grab at least one tonight, but to ask for three against a stubborn Napoli defence is asking a lot.

There have been some MASSIVE European nights at Anfield under the lights. Dortmund, Olympiakos to name only two of the many occasions the Red faithful led their heroes to victory. Will the home fans have another famous triumph to celebrate come 10pm this evening?

Klopp: "As much as we respect Napoli, tonight is about us and our potential, so that is where our focus will be entirely. We know we have the quality, we know we have the mentality and we have the belief to do what is required."

Napoli only need a point to ensure qualification and come into this game on the back of a 12-match unbeaten run. They rested players in the 4-0 against Frosinone at the weekend, but return to full strength for tonight's big one.
Arkadiusz Milik is named on the bench after scoring twice in the win, as Dries Mertens returns to the starting line-up. Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina also starts in goal.

Eyebrows may be raised that Klopp has left out Fabinho and Keita after their impressive performances at Bournemouth on Saturday. Jordan Henderson is in there, and it's not the most creative midfield. Xherdan Shaqiri, too, drops to the bench.
Forget about that, though, Liverpool's deadly trident are placed in attack: Firmino, Sadio Mane and, fresh from his hat-trick at the South Coast, Mo Salah.
In defence, Joel Matip gets the nod ahead of Dejan Lovren.
