Napoli are looking to tighten their grip at the top of the Serie A table with a derby win over Salernitana.

The match between the Granata and the Partenopei kicks off at 17.00 UK time at the Stadio Arechi in Salerno.

Napoli have looked almost unstoppable this season, only dropping points three times in the league, but a penalty shoot-out loss to Cremonese in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 has caused some anxiety to grow in the Campania capital.

Salernitana are circling dangerously close to the relegation zone and briefly dismissed coach Davide Nicola before rehiring him only days later. The team have only picked up one point from their last five league outings and sit nine points ahead of relegation candidates Hellas Verona.

Napoli cannot count on the injured Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Juan Jesus. Salernitana are without Luigi Sepe, Federico Fazio, Pasquale Mazzocchi, Dylan Bronn and Giulio Maggiore.

Probable Serie A line-ups for Salernitana vs Napoli

Salernitana (4-3-3): Ochoa; Daniliuc, Lovato, Gyomber, Bradaric; Coulibaly, Nicolussi Caviglia, Vilhena; Candreva, Piatek, Dia.
