Napoli are still without Victor Osimhen and Natan is also suspended, so Giacomo Raspadori and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia again start upfront in the local derby against Boulaye Dia’s Salernitana.
It kicks off at the Stadio Arechi at 14.00 GMT.
Rudi Garcia is still very much feeling the pressure after coming back from 2-0 down to hold Milan last week, reportedly with the aid of President Aurelio De Laurentiis going into the locker room at half-time to berate the squad.
Nonetheless, they dropped down to fifth place, Osimhen is still injured and Natan suspended, but Juan Jesus returns to the squad.
Raspadori is once again picked as the centre-forward rather than Giovanni Simeone, while the return of Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa to the starting XI is a boost.
Salernitana are still without a Serie A win this season, as Pippo Inzaghi replaced Paulo Sousa to debut with a 1-0 defeat to Genoa.
However, they did crush Sampdoria 4-0 in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday to set up a Round of 16 clash with Juventus, including two goals from Loum Tchaouna.
Norbert Gyomber is suspended in defence, so Federico Fazio returns, while Tchaouna, Antonio Candreva and Dia support Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi in a very attacking formation.
Salernitana: Ochoa; Mazzocchi, Fazio, Pirola, Bradaric; Legowski, Coulibaly; Tchaouna, Candreva, Dia; Ikwuemesi
Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrhamani, Ostigard, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Politano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia
