UCLPre-match stats: Liverpool can set European club record v Napoli

The Reds are looking to set a new club record when they kick off their 2022-23 Champions League campaign against Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Having beaten Villarreal, Benfica, Internazionale, AC Milan, FC Porto and Atletico Madrid at their homes last season, Jürgen Klopp's men are out to make it seven in a row in the 8pm BST kick-off.

Read on for more facts and figures ahead of the meeting with Luciano Spalletti's side…

This is the club's 47th season in Europe and the 27th in the premier competition.

Liverpool have played in the Champions League in 14 different seasons. In those 14 previous campaigns, they have reached the knockout stage on 11 occasions.

Liverpool's pre-Napoli press conference

Last season, the Reds won their group for the eighth time and the third in succession, as they aim to reach the knockouts for the sixth consecutive campaign.

On the two previous occasions Liverpool have been drawn in Group A, they progressed both times and were in that pool when they went on to lift the trophy in 2005.

Klopp's men have scored nine goals on their last three visits to Italy.

The Reds hope to win in Italy for the fourth successive time for the first time.

Alisson Becker and Mohamed Salah played under current Napoli coach Spalletti while at AS Roma in 2016-17.

Alisson could play his 39th European game for the club, which would represent the third-highest number by any Liverpool goalkeeper.
