By beating Napoli Liverpool ran
up three consecutive wins for the first time since September of
last year. They did so with a hat-trick from the substitute Steven
Gerrard. That dependence on him can be a concern, but there is also
relief that he has such impact. With Fernando Torres enhancing the
line-up further, this could be the most demanding fixture the
visitors have had so far this season. The champions, however, did
conserve energy in Wednesday's routine 4-1 defeat of Spartak
Moscow.
