We're underway at the Stadio San Paolo.
Roberto Firmino's last-minute winner guided Liverpool to a victory over PSG in their opener. Goals from Daniel Sturridge and James Milner had put the Reds ahead at Anfield, only for Thomas Meunier and Kylian Mbappe to bring the French outfit back on level terms. However, the Brazilian pounced in stoppage time to secure the points, which could be very important come the end of the group stage.
Napoli drew their opening match of the competition, playing out a goalless draw against Red Star Belgrade. There will be work for the Italian outfit to do to match the points' totals of Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain over the course of the group stage, making a positive result this evening vital factor in their hopes of reaching the knockout phase.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Champions League Group C clash between Napoli and Liverpool at the Stadio San Paolo.
Let's take a look at the two teams this evening, starting with the home side.
NAPOLI (4-3-3): David Ospina; Nikola Maksimovic, Raul Albiol, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Allan, Marek Hamsik, Fabian Ruiz; Jose Callejon, Arkadiusz Milik, Lorenzo Insigne.
Napoli subs: Simone Verdi, Dries Mertens, Piotr Zielinski, Elseid Hysaj, Orestis Karnezis, Marko Rog, Amadou Diawara.
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Naby Keita, James Milner, Georginio Wijnaldum; Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane.
Liverpool subs: Fabinho, Dejan Lovren, Jordan Henderson, Daniel Sturridge, Alberto Moreno, Simon Mignolet, Xherdan Shaqiri.
Napoli have made three changes from their defeat at the hands of Juventus at the weekend. Milik, Ruiz and Maksimovic come into the fold for Carlo Ancelotti's men, with Hysaj, Mertens and Zielinski dropping to the bench from their loss in Serie A.
Liverpool have made one change from their draw against Chelsea at the weekend. Henderson drops to the bench as Keita comes back into the midfield. Milner takes the captain's armband from his team-mate this evening. Sturridge's heroics against Chelsea are not enough to earn him a starting berth ahead of the settled front three.
It's goalless at the break at the Stadio San Paolo between Napoli and Liverpool in their Champions League Group C clash. The home side have had the better opportunities of the first half as Lorenzo Insigne fired wide of the post in the early stages, while Arkadiusz Milik saw a drive beaten away by Alisson. The Reds have lacked a threat in the final third, although their rhythm may have been stymied by the loss of Naby Keita, who was carted from the field in the 18th minute.
Mohamed Salah has not been at his best this evening. He has made a couple of runs that have not been fruitful for the visitors. Sadio Mane has endured similar struggles on the opposite flank, and although Roberto Firmino has put himself about, there's not a lot for the front three to feed on. Jurgen Klopp may need to alter his system at the break.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Lorenzo Insigne snatches the three points for Napoli at the death, handing a blow to Liverpool at the Stadio San Paolo. The home side were the better team on the evening and their efforts in the second half deserved the winner. Dries Mertens struck the bar as it appeared Carlo Ancelotti's men would have to settle for a draw. However, Napoli's three attacking players combined to secure the victory as Jose Callejon teed up Insigne to find the net on the slide at the back post. The Reds were poor throughout and would have been fortunate to leave with a point. The result moves the Italian outfit to the top of Group C, while Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are now level on points following the French side's win over Red Star Belgrade.
