Napoli will look to jump back into first place when it takes on Genoa on Saturday.
Rafa Benitez's club held a perfect record in the league until it drew 202 against Sassuolo at home this past week. The team now sits in third place with 13 points, two back of first place Roma.
Pepe Reina has been excellent in goal for the club thus far and the netminder recently revealed that his time with Liverpool is likely at an end; Reina was loaned out to Napoli this season from Liverpool.
"At the moment it's difficult to think about being a Liverpool player next year. They have a young goalkeeper in Simon Mignolet and the manager prefers him to me. That's the reason why I'm here and he will be at the club next year as well," said Reina, according to ESPN."There's no reason to think I'll be a Liverpool player from now on but we'll see where the future takes us. It's been a good move so far and I don't regret what happened. I would have preferred to say goodbye in a different way."
After the Genoa match, Napoli will look to prepare for a crucial meeting against Arsenal in the Champions League. Napoli won its first game against Borussia Dortmund by the score of 2-1.
Genoa sits at the bottom of the table with four points and a record of one win, one draw, and three losses.
Prediction: Napoli wins 2-0.
Start Time: 2:45 p.m. EST
