The former Empoli Coach took over from Rafa Benitez and many of the players, above all Marek Hamsik, are hugely enthusiastic about his change of tactics.
Faouzi Ghoulam is suspended with Jonathan de Guzman and Juan Camilo Zuniga transfer-listed.
There are several new faces, including Mirko Valdifiori, Allan, Vlad Chiriches and Elseid Hysaj, plus returning goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
Hamsik gets his favoured midfield role, while Insigne has become a trequartista behind Mertens and Higuain.
Sassuolo sold Simone Zaza to Juventus, but superstar in the making Berardi is present and correct.
He turned 21 only three weeks ago, but has scored 31 Serie A goals in just 61 games.
The replacement for Zaza is ex-Cesena striker Gregoire Defrel, whose pace could cause problems for Raul Albiol and Christian Maggio.
Sassuolo: Consigli; Vrsaljko, Cannavaro, Acerbi, Peluso; Missiroli, Magnanelli, Duncan; Berardi, Defrel, Floro Flores
Napoli: Reina, Maggio, Albiol, Chiriches, Hysaj, David Lopez, Valdifiori, Hamsik, Insigne, Higuain, Mertens
