Giacomo Raspadori and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia lead the Napoli attack visiting Leonardo Bonucci’s Union Berlin in a must-win Champions League clash.
It kicks off at the Olympiastadion at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).
Rudi Garcia was reportedly facing the sack over the break for international duty, but turned things around in Serie A with Saturday’s 3-1 win away to Verona.
He’s still playing catch-up in Europe after a 3-2 home defeat to Real Madrid and must also do without injured Victor Osimhen and Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa.
After Raspadori started at the weekend, he again is preferred to Giovanni Simeone, flanked by Matteo Politano and a rediscovered Kvaratskhelia, fresh from his brace at the Bentegodi.
Matias Olivera and Eljif Elmas are back in the squad, albeit not 100 per cent fit.
Union Berlin are in their first ever Champions League campaign, but it has been a dismal season for them so far, losing eight games in a row in all competition.
They only fell 1-0 to Real Madrid, but then lost 3-2 at home to SC Braga in the Champions League, so are rock bottom.
There are some familiar faces, most notably Italy international Bonucci and ex-Inter and Atalanta winger Robin Gosens, but the veteran defender is on the bench.
Laurenz Dehl, Josip Juranovic and Andras Schafer are out of action, with Jerome Roussillon and goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow carrying issues.
Union Berlin: Ronnow; Knoche, Diogo Leite, Doekhi; Trimmel, Haberer, Khedira, Aaronson, Gosens; Becker, Fofana
