Liverpool/Napoli

There haven't been many Liverpool home games on Picklive recently (1 in the last 8) so I'm looking right back to the game against Steaua Bucharest for inspiration. In that match Spearing and Meireles dominated the passing with 63 and 62 completed passes respectively. Picking central midfielders in Liverpool games seems to be a no-brainer when you also look at Lucas against Bolton, Meireles and Gerrard against Everton or Poulsen against Man Utd.

So, the centre of the Liverpool midfield should cover at least 2 and possibly 3 (if Gerrard is played further forward) of your picks tonight. I would would advise looking at the back four for the other picks. Both Konchesky and Johnson have excellent average scores for Liverpool and should be considered. Plus one of the centre backs often feature high up the points table e.g. Skrtel against Napoli.

Campagnaro (63 cp) and Pazienza (60) dominated Napoli's passing in the reverse fixture and so should be considered if you think Napoli will see a fair bit of the ball.

Tips: Three or four from Liverpoool including both central midfielders plus at least one insurance pick from Napoli.
