Cavani broke his goal drought with four goals in the last two games and is hoping to keep that momentum going.

He is supported by Marek Hamsik and Pandev, as Lorenzo Insigne is again benched, while goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis is back after an elbow injury.

Genoa are in joint penultimate place now on 27 points with Siena and Palermo, although with tonight’s game in hand.

Andrea Bertolacci returns from suspension, but Thomas Manfredini sits out a ban instead.

Cesare Bovo and Damiano Ferronetti miss out due to injury, but it’s a special game for Neapolitan strikers Bertolacci and Immobile.

Napoli: De Sanctis; Campagnaro, Cannavaro, Britos; Maggio, Behrami, Dzemaili, Hamsik, Armero; Pandev, Cavani

Genoa: Frey; Granqvist, Portanova, Moretti; Jankovic, Kucka, Matuzalem, Rigoni, Antonelli; Bertolacci, Immobile
