Liverpool have already punched their ticket to the last 16 of the Champions League. After a rather chastening 4-1 loss against Napoli in Italy on September 7, the Reds have since found the form in Europe that has deserted them domestically, winning the four following games of their Group A schedule.
Doubles over both Ajax and Rangers, including a 7-1 drubbing of the Scottish side at Ibrox last month, mean that safe passage is assured for Jurgen Klopp's men regardless of what happens in this evening's clash with Napoli at Anfield.
But sitting three points back and requiring a victory of four goals or more, based on the head to head between the two sides, means that the odds are against the Reds topping the group and getting what is viewed as a friendlier passage in the knockout stages, as well as a financial boost.
