Walter Mazzarri and Rafa Benitez face their past as fifth welcome third in tonight’s intriguing Inter-Napoli.

Mazzarri left Napoli over the summer to take control of the transitional project with the Nerazzurri and has had mixed results.
He is forced to completely revamp his defence this evening, as Walter Samuel and Rolando sit out bans with Juan Jesus injured for the rest of the season.
It means Marco Andreolli and Andrea Ranocchia must come in alongside ex-Napoli defender Hugo Campagnaro.
Jonathan and Ricky Alvarez are also unavailable, so Mateo Kovacic and Hernanes continue to hold the midfield reins.
Mauro Icardi ignores off the field controversy to partner Rodrigo Palacio in attack.
Napoli have now mathematically lost any hope of catching Roma in second place, so must work to consolidate third and their Champions League play-off spot.
Gonzalo Higuain returns from suspension to bolster the front line with Lorenzo Insigne, Jose Callejon and Dries Mertens.
Ex-Inter forward Goran Pandev is on the bench along with Marek Hamsik.
Christian Maggio and Rafael are still out injured, while Federico Fernandez is suspended in the back four and makes way for surprise starter Miguel Angel Britos.
Benitez will be curious to see the response when he steps into the stadium, as he never quite won over the Inter fans and left just six months after replacing Jose Mourinho.
