Defeat to Leeds United on Saturday marked the latest low point of Liverpool’s season, with the Reds now 15 points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal.
A glimmer of hope for Jurgen Klopp is that his side are safely through to the knockout stages of the Champions League before their final group game against Napoli. Tuesday’s clash with the Serie A side conjures up memories of a group game between the two sides back in December 2018, although Klopp may also be concerned when he looks back on that game.
Heading into the final match of that year’s group stages, they had to beat the Italians to go through to the knockout stages. They sat third in Group C ahead of the visit of the Partenopei, with Klopp calling on his players to bounce back from their poor run in the competition to that point.
“We are in a good moment for weeks and months as a club and a team, we have to use it. One of the most difficult teams to play at this moment is Napoli. They are a really good side but we are as well,” he said.
