The Champions League is back!
And the defending champions are ready to make it a Magnificent Seven following June's sixth success in Madrid.
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool kick-off the defence of their trophy in Naples against Napoli tonight, where they came unstuck to a last minute Lorenzo Insigne strike last season.
Will they go one better tonight?
We asked Liverpool correspondent Paul Gorst to put down his Neapolitan espresso for a moment and give us his verdict.
Win, lose or draw?
I'm going to sit firmly on the fence and chalk this one up as a draw. At a time when the default answer is to pick a Liverpool win, I think this will be a tight, cagey affair. Perhaps I am being a killjoy ahead of tonight, but it won't be one for the neutral, despite the attacking talent on display for both sides. The good news is, the draw is 5/2 with thepools.com which is a cracking bet.
Who's a good bet for first goalscorer?
Roberto Firmino was playing football from another planet at Anfield on Saturday and I expect him to return to the side with Divock Origi out injured. The Brazilian is in blistering form and he could continue that with a goal tonight. He's 5/1 to score first or 13/8 to register any time .
Who's on the naughty step?
Kalidou Koulibaly and Virgil van Dijk are two of the planet's finest centre-backs, but with both teams packed with plenty going forward, might they put a foot wrong and end up in the book tonight? Over 4.5 cards is Evens with thepools.com
Will Liverpool keep a clean sheet?
If Liverpool keep a clean sheet, they invariably win football matches, given the players they have up top, but I think they might concede this evening against Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens, Jose Callejon et al. Both Teams To Score is a short 8/15 .
