    Liverpool v Real Madrid (20:00 GMT)

    Liverpool owner John Henry says he is not selling the Premier League club, but does expect some investment.

    Henry's Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which bought Liverpool in 2010, said in November it "would consider new shareholders" in the Reds.

    FSG chairman Tom Werner later said the club's owners were "exploring a sale" but could continue their "stewardship for quite a while".

    "Are we selling LFC? No," Henry told the Boston Sports Journal.

    "Are talking with investors about LFC? Yes. Will something happen there? I believe so, but it won't be a sale."

    Are Napoli ones to watch in this season's Champions League?

    The Italians are flying high at the top of Serie A and won five of their six Champions League group games to finish top ahead of Liverpool.

    "Napoli don't play like an Italian team," Eintracht Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner.

    "They play with the most intensity by some distance. They're aggressive without the ball and counter-press with incredible intensity. We're aware of that and we've prepared for it.

    "There's more to Napoli than just their attack. They have an incredible balance and don't concede many goals. They had an exceptional group stage."
