Maurizio Sarri’s men have shown sparkling work in attack this season, scoring six goals in two rounds, but also conceded two against both Pescara and Milan.
They cannot afford similar defensive errors in this trip to Sicily, faced with an increasingly desperate Palermo.
Coach Davide Ballardini resigned after the 1-1 draw away to Inter, protesting at the lack of transfer activity, so De Zerbi was drafted in.
He sits out a touchline ban from the chaotic scenes in Foggia’s Lega Pro promotion play-off last season, but imposes his very attack-minded philosophy on the team.
Robin Quaison and Michel Morganella are out injured, but Diamanti is given his debut after a deadline day move from Guangzhou Evergrande.
Usually playing behind the strikers, Diamanti appears to be in a False Nine role flanked by youngsters Carlos Embalo and Roland Sallai.
Milik starts again after his brace against Milan, but Dries Mertens is rested in favour of Insigne, while Christian Maggio and Piotr Zielinski get rare starts.
The last time Napoli failed to score at the Barbera was a 4-0 Serie B defeat in November 2003, netting 12 in the next eight visits.
