Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool): “We knew the Napoli away game was not good enough, Belgrade no better. Paris was okay and losing there can happen. So far we’ve been good at home. Tomorrow night we need to be even better. We need to perform at our highest level.”Carlo Ancelotti (Napoli): “I have lots of memories of Anfield. And my last one is a good one because I won the title there withChelsea. Its going to be a tough, exciting match. Well go there and play our usual game. It would be counter productive to try and park the bus. Besides anything else, thats not how we play. Well try to boss the game and Im sure the lads are ready and fired up to give their absolute all. Well go there with an attacking mindset.”Team news
