Napoli need to get back on track after the defeat to Lazio, so give Eljif Elmas the nod with Victor Osimhen and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia away to Mateo Retegui’s Genoa.
It kicks off at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, also known as Marassi, at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).
The reigning Champions of Italy hit a stumbling block with their surprise home defeat to Lazio and Matteo Politano sustained a problem on international duty, so Elmas is preferred to Jesper Lindstrom in the trident attack.
Rudi Garcia must also keep an eye on the upcoming Champions League trip to SC Braga, so Amir Rrahmani is rested in favour of Leo Ostigard.
Alberto Gilardino’s Genoa are unpredictable, losing to Fiorentina and Torino, yet able to surprise Lazio 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Junior Messias, Alessandro Vogliacco and Ridgeciano Haps were still out of action, while Albert Gudmundsson supports Italy international Retegui.
Genoa: Martinez; De Winter, Bani, Dragusin, Martin; Sabelli, Strootman, Badelj, Frendrup; Gudmundsson, Retegui
Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Juan Jesus, Mario Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Elmas, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
