The hour, or ninety minutes, of reckoning, is almost upon us.
Tonight, Napoli are the visitors to Anfield with both teams harbouring ambitions of reaching the last-16 knockout stages of the Champions League.
For Liverpool to do so, they must beat the Serie A side by a clear two-goal margin.
A failure to do so will see Liverpool slip into the Europa League, instead of participating in the far more glamorous Champions League,
It’s a challenge that Liverpool will be up for and here at Vital Liverpool, we’re expecting tonight to be up there with the best of those famous European nights where Liverpool, somehow, always manage to pull off what some pundits deem impossible.
With the kick-off looming large and the atmosphere starting to build, we are now able to bring you the team-sheets to mull over.
Starting with those representing Liverpool:
