FROM FRONT PAGE of the Premier League. But Klopp said they will have to raise their game even further if they want to progress to the knockout stages.
He added: “We have to earn it. In the home games so far we have been quite impressive. Napoli know it will be a tough one. But they are strong and we need to be strong.”
Asked about Salah’s hat-trick at Bournemouth, fromer Chelsea boss Ancelotti said: “Hopefully he got them all out of his system and will run dry next week!”
Ancelotti insisted his Napoli will go on the attack at Anfield as he seeks another famous win over Liverpool. The Italian side need only a point to qualify – and will go through if Paris Saint-Germain lose at Red Star Belgrade. But he said: “We don’t know how to play a defensive match and we won’t do it at Liverpool. We will not park the bus in front of our goal. We believe we will get through. So far we have prepared a beautiful cake, now we must add the icing.”
The former Milan boss won and lost Champions League finals against the Reds – and took a giant step to winning the Premier League with Chelsea with a victory on Merseyside in May 2010.
Ancelotti, who took over from Maurizio Sarri in the summer, said: “When I think of previous matches with Liverpool, I like the one from 2007 in Athens. But Liverpool also bring memories of two lost Champions League finals – the first in Rome in 1984, the second in Istanbul in 2005 on penalties.”
