Desperate Liverpool's manager Roy Hodgson "will play full-strength team" in Napoli clash. The 63-year-old believes four points from the remaining three games — two of which are at Anfield — will be enough to make them UEFA Europa League Group K leaders. Liverpool currently top Group K with five points from three games so far and earned a 0:0 draw in Naples a two weeks ago.
Actually, Hodgson hopes key men Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres can lift the Reds. However, the team be without Joe Cole (hamstring), Dirk Kuyt (ankle) and Daniel Agger (calf) while Sotirios Kyrgiakos was withdrawn from training as a precaution after complaining of a groin problem. Good news: Ryan Babel is training with the squad after a rib injury and Glen Johnson could end his four-match absence with a thigh problem.
As for Napoli, they boast dangerous players such as Marek Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani, while ex-Anfield bench warmer Andrea Dossena will attempt to show his worth on the left flank.
