Maurizio Sarri said it’d take a while for his team to take shape and he was proven right, as their last two performances since switching to the 4-3-3 system have been outstanding.

Club Brugge and Lazio were crushed 5-0, so now Carpi must be worried they’ll be on the end of a similar battering.

Marek Hamsik has shaken off a knock to start with Mirko Valdifiori, while Dries Mertens steps in to the trident attack.

Keeping the momentum and enthusiasm going is essential, especially with Juventus coming to visit on Saturday night.

Carpi have just one point in their Serie A history, but their performances have been better than the results would suggest.

Luca Marrone and Nicolas Spolli miss out, while Jerry Mbakogu is chosen to lead the line.

It’s a special game for Napoli director of sport Cristiano Giuntoli, who helped take Carpi to promotion before leaving over the summer.

Carpi: Benussi; Zaccardo, Romagnoli, Bubnjic; Letizia, Lollo, Cofie, Fedele, Gabriel Silva; Matos, Mbakogu

Napoli: Reina; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Allan, Valdifiori, Hamsik; Insigne, Higuain, Mertens
