Coach Maurizio Sarri is missing Faouzi Ghoulam and Arkadiusz Milik, but Mario Rui has also not yet recovered from a sprained ankle in training.
Therefore Christian Maggio takes the right-back slot with Elseid Hysaj shuffled over to the left.
Vlad Chiriches steps in to give Raul Albiol a rest, but reports of Marek Hamsik being given the weekend off proved to be unfounded.
It’s the usual trio of Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne and Jose Callejon in attack.
Udinese sacked Coach Gigi Del Neri this week and brought in former Pescara tactician Oddo.
He has to do without injured Emil Hallfredsson and Valon Behrami, while Jens Stryger-Larsen isn’t fit to start either.
Albano Bizzarri sits out a ban, replaced in goal by young talent Simone Scuffet.
Ex-Chelsea forward Stipe Perica gets the nod in attack with support from Rodrigo De Paul in a new 4-4-1-1 formation.
Napoli have won four of their last five meetings with Udinese, home and away, save for a 3-1 loss here in April 2016.
Udinese: Scuffet; Angella, Danilo, Samir; Widmer, Fofana, Balic, Barak, Adnan; De Paul; Perica
Napoli: Reina; Maggio, Chiriches, Koulibaly, Hysaj; Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Mertens, Insigne
