Jordan Henderson has quashed talk of tonight's Champions League tie with Napoli being a 'dead rubber' - insisting that no European fixture in front of a packed-out Anfield can be classed as irrelevant.
The pair meet on Merseyside tonight having both already qualified for the knockout stages, with the Reds securing their place in the February round-of-16 thanks to last week's 3-0 win at Ajax. Napoli sit top of Group A with five wins from five, but Jurgen Klopp's side can take top spot if they win by four clear goals - see what that could mean for the knockout stage draw here.
The unlikely nature of such a commanding win has led to claims that tonight's game is all-but meaningless, with both sides already through and already looking to the weekend's domestic football. But club captain Henderson, writing in his programme notes ahead of tonight, had rubbished such talk.
