According to the latest reports, Carlo Ancelotti is continuing his experiments with the Partenopei, moving them further away from the side that was so well-drilled under Maurizio Sarri.

He is certainly not afraid to rotate the squad and could throw full-back Malcuit in there from the start for his absolute Napoli debut.

Verdi only played in one game, the 3-0 defeat at Sampdoria, but he could well start in a trident with Arkadiusz Milik and Jose Callejon.

Marek Hamsik is also at risk, as the captain could make way for Amadou Diawara.

Probable line-ups

Crvena Zvezda: Borjan; Stojkovic, Savic, Degenek, Rodic; Jovicic, Krsticic; Jonathan Cafu, Ben Nabouhane, Marin; Boakye

Crvena Zvezda bench: Popovic, Babic, Causic, Simic, Gobeljic, Stoiljkovic, Ebecillio

Napoli: Ospina; Malcuit, Albiol, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Allan, Hamsik, Zielinski; Callejon, Milik, Verdi
