Liverpool start their Champions League defence in Italy tonight against Napoli and Klopp is eager to right a wrong, the Independent reports, after the Reds lost 1-0 in the group clash in Naples last season.

The group E clash between Napoli and Liverpool kicks off at 8pm (UK time) and is live on BT Sport 2.
