LIVERPOOL are back in action in the UK against Napoli, Express Sport is on hand to see how Jurgen Klopp could line up his side.
Liverpool: Fans arrive at Murrayfield ahead of Napoli friendly
After a rather disappointing pre-season tour of America which saw no victories, Liverpool are looking to get serious when they take on Napoli in Scotland.
The match against the Italians is taking place at Scotland’s home of rugby Murrayfield.
Last year they also faced Carlo Ancelotti’s side and ran out 5-0 winners at the Aviva Stadium.
This time around they won’t have a number of key stars to rely on as they slowly make their return to the Liverpool fold after a busy summer at international tournaments.
With Alisson, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah due back at Melwood on Monday, it gives a number of stars the chance to impress.
Simon Mignolet will keep his place between the sticks and Liverpool are expected to name the back four that started last season’s Premier League campaign.
That’s made up of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson, meaning Joel Matip unfortunately loses his place after a heroic end to last season’s run in.
The midfield that guided the Reds to the Champions League in Madrid made up of Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson will be restored in Edinburgh.
In attack, Harry Wilson and Rhian Brewster will get another chance to impress alongside club icon Divock Origi.
Wilson has been promised game time this season however there is still interest from Newcastle and Aston Villa, so nothing can be ruled out just yet.
This will be a good chance for him to showcase his ability and impress Klopp ahead of next Sunday’s Community Shield clash with Manchester City.
New signing Harvey Elliot joined from Fulham on Sunday morning and he will go straight into the squad for the match.
Other new addition Sepp van den Berg could also feature after finally receiving international clearance.
Xherdan Shaqiri remains sidelined with a calf problem sustained while away with Switzerland.
Naby Keita is working hard to recover from adductor injury sustained in the first leg Champions League semi-final defeat to Barcelona at the Nou Camp.
The midfielder made his return at the African Cup of Nations with Guinea but aggravated the injury to the frustration of his club boss.
Liverpool predicted line-up vs Napoli
(4-1-2-1-2) Mignolet; Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson; Wilson, Brewster, Origi.
