Liverpool play the penultimate game of a hectic pre-season schedule when they take on Napoli this evening. Jurgen Klopp’s men have lost just one of their seven fixtures so far this summer - a 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in Charlotte, USA. And they’ll be eager to keep their momentum going following wins over Manchester City and Manchester United in their past two games. Carlo Ancelotti’s Napoli, who finished runners-up in Italy under Maurizio Sarri last season, will provide a stern test for Liverpool. Express Sport is on hand to bring you everything you need to know as the Reds gear up to face the Serie A giants.<doc-sep>JEFF KOWALSKY/Getty Images Liverpool meet Napoli in a pre-season friendly at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Saturday, with former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti now in charge of the Serie A outfit. Ancelotti has replaced Maurizio Sarri, who has become the boss for the Blues. The new Stamford Bridge coach has left behind a legacy of attractive football and has already poached playmaker Jorginho from his old club. It's been a busy summer for both Ancelotti and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. The latter has added midfielders Naby Keita and Fabinho, as well as goalkeeper Alisson Becker, to the Reds' ranks as the Anfield club bids to end its long wait for a Premier League title. Date: Saturday, August 4 Time: 6 p.m. BST/1 p.m. ET Video Play Button Videos you might like TV Info: LFCTV Live Stream: LiverpoolFC.com, fuboTV Napoli may have lost their primary pass-master, but the squad remains loaded with quality thanks to a clause in Sarri's contract prohibiting him from plundering his former team any further, per Samuel Lovett of The Independent. It means Ancelotti's men will arrive in Dublin with enviable quality in attacking areas. Wide forwards Lorenzo Insigne and Jose Callejon are natural match-winners, while Marek Hamsik remains an intelligent schemer from central areas. AFP Contributor/Getty Images This is a trio gifted enough to pose a stern first test for Alisson, who has been training with his new team-mates for the first time this week. Klopp has said "it's pretty likely" the 25-year-old will make his debut, per James Carroll of the club's official website. The Brazil international set the Reds back £66.9 million, a global record for a goalkeeper. He's been signed to end the mistakes between the posts that have blighted the team in recent seasons. So any positive early displays will be welcomed with relief. At least Klopp still has gifted attackers in the form of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge. Key forward Salah needs to be fresh following his injury in last season's UEFA Champions League final, as well as his exertions with Egypt at this summer's FIFA World Cup in Russia. BENJAMIN CREMEL/Getty Images Neither side is lacking for firepower, so it's safe to expect goals in Dublin. Ultimately, Napoli may be a touch fresher following Liverpool's participation in the International Champions Cup. Prediction: Liverpool 2-3 Napoli<doc-sep>Liverpool travelled to Dublin for the penultimate game of pre-season when the Reds took on Serie A outfit Napoli at the Aviva Stadium. Jurgen Klopp's side face also another Italian test before the Premier League season kicks off against West Ham a week on Sunday, with Torino to come at Anfield on Tuesday night. Klopp's side have lost just once in pre-season, a 2-1 reverse against Dortmund in Charlotte, USA, and were today boosted by the return of Roberto Firmino and Trent Alexander-Arnold. All eyes were on Alisson in goal as the £62m Brazilian goalkeeper made his Liverpool debut against Napoli. The Reds had announced that Alisson would wear the number 13 shirt - but that is only provisional, with a permanent number to be confirmed in due course.<doc-sep>On the eve of Liverpool Football Club’s tune up against Napoli, the club has released a little bit of news on who won’t be suiting up for the Reds. The official site listed Danny Ings, Adam Lallana, Joel Matip, and Marko Grujic as a group of Reds flying back to Melwood instead of continuing with the team to Dublin in preparation for their tilt against Napoli. Lallana and Grujic seemed to be late scratches as both were removed from contention with injury concerns. Lallana is dealing with a calf issue and Grujic with hamstring problem. Joel Matip, in the meanwhile, is sidelined with a sore hip flexor. Danny Ings, however, poses an interesting case as it looks like the decision - labeled by the club as one being made by mutual agreement between player and club - to pull him from participation in the friendly is ahead of a rumored transfer. As has been reported here and elsewhere, Ings looks on the verge to move to Crystal Palace for a substantial fee. And with the official club report noting that Danny Ings is at full fitness, one can only guess that the negotiations are at an advanced stage. All told, it still looks like a rather strong squad entering Saturday’s friendly against Napoli. The Reds in Dublin will no doubt be very excited to see the likes of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, and the rest of the gang walk out onto the pitch in short order. And this also means that, for the rest of us, we’re about 9 days removed from the first match of the season. Almost there, friends. Almost there.<doc-sep>
