Victor Osimhen is back in the squad for Napoli, but Giacomo Raspadori leads the attack with Matteo Politano against a Verona side fresh from beating Sassuolo.
It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).
Luciano Spalletti vented his fury at the recent protest from ultras against President Aurelio De Laurentiis, which created a muted atmosphere in their 4-0 defeat here to Milan.
That shouldn’t be an issue today, seeing as the Napoli and Verona fans have a very long and bitter rivalry.
There was another 1-0 loss to the Rossoneri in the Champions League quarter-final midweek and the second leg is on Tuesday, but the coach resists the temptation to rotate too much.
Osimhen returns after a thigh strain on international duty, but is not yet fit to start, with Giovanni Simeone out for at least three weeks, so Raspadori leads the way.
Tanguy Ndombele is suspended, with Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Stanislav Lobotka rested.
Kim Min-jae and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa start, as they will be suspended for the second leg with Milan.
Verona have both Miguel Veloso and Giangiacomo Magnani sitting out bans, while Ajdin Hrustic, Ibrahim Sulemana, Deyovaisio Zeefuik and Thomas Henry are injured.
Darko Lazovic and Diego Coppola are not 100 per cent fit.
The presence of Adolfo Gaich means Hellas are always a danger on crosses and set plays, as shown in the 2-1 comeback win over Sassuolo.
Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Kim Min-jae, Juan Jesus, Olivera; Anguissa, Demme, Elmas; Politano, Raspadori, Lozano
Verona: Montipò; Dawidowicz, Hien, Ceccherini; Faraoni, Tameze, Abildgaard, Depaoli; Duda, Lasagna; Gaich
