The Partenopei have won all three games under new coach Luciano Spalletti, including Saturday’s 2-1 comeback success over Juventus.

Captain Insigne was an injury doubt, but he is in the starting XI with Osimhen, Piotr Zielinski and Lozano, giving Matteo Politano some rest.

Ex-Fulham midfielder Andre-Frank Anguissa made a strong impression on his debut and starts again in midfield, as Diego Demme is out of action.
