Carlo Ancelotti has changed his line-up every time this season and the biggest shift here sees Lorenzo Insigne left behind with a muscular problem.

Adam Ounas, Sebastiano Luperto, Faouzi Ghoulam, Vlad Chiriches and Amin Younes are also out of action.

Verdi and Jose Callejon therefore take the wings, with a new front two of Mertens and Milik.

The last Serie A game that Napoli played without Insigne was in December 2017, so this ends a run of 36 consecutive matches.

Orestis Karnezis, Allan and Piotr Zielinski all face their former club.

Udinese have lost three on the bounce with their new Coach Julio Velazquez and have a poor record against Napoli, losing the last four meetings.

Emmanuel Badu, Svante Ingelsson, Giuseppe Pezzella and Darwin Machis are unavailable, but Kevin Lasagna hopes to build on his recent Italy debut with support from Rodrigo De Paul.

Udinese: Scuffet; Stryger-Larsen, Troost-Ekong, Nuytinck, Samir; Behrami; Pussetto, Fofana, Mandragora; De Paul; Lasagna

Napoli: Karnezis; Malcuit, Albiol, Koulibaly, Hysaj; Callejon, Allan, Zielinski, Verdi; Mertens, Milik

Napoli bench: Ospina, D’Andrea, Maksimovic, Mario Rui, Fabian, Rog, Diawara, Hamsik
