apoli head coach Walter Mazzarri is hopeful his troops can secure a positive result against Liverpool in the Europa League. The Italian club host Liverpool at the Stadio San Paolo hoping to take a big step towards qualification from Group K.Their form this season has been encouraging - they are currently fourth in Serie A - and considerably better than Liverpool's, who have slipped to second-bottom of the Premier League.Liverpool's form in Europe has been much better, with five wins and a draw through both qualifying and the group stage so far.Napoli, like their opponents, are trying to recapture former glories and Mazzarri believes facing teams like Liverpool can only help in that quest.They drew their opening two games against Utrecht and Steaua Bucharest but Liverpool pose the biggest threat."Playing an important side like Liverpool is another step for the club to grow," he said."We have to hold up Napoli's name though, but without forgetting about the league, which is our primary objective."But having said that, we will give our maximum because we really want to get through the group."Despite Liverpool's troubles this season, and the fact they have left key duo Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard at home, Mazzarri is taking nothing for granted."They have a great squad. An individual is not able to dictate the team's strengths," he added."I'm more worried because it's clear (Roy Hodgson's) studied a line-up that could give us more problems."I want a great match. I would like the team to play good football and produce a positive performance."I don't want only to secure a good result. I want to achieve it in the best possible fashion."We want to give happiness to our supporters and we will play with soul, regardless of the possible outcome."
