The Partenopei are really feeling the pressure after their home defeat to Milan, especially as not only do they risk sliding out of the Scudetto race, but Juventus are also catching up fast behind them.

There are injury problems too, with Alex Meret, Kevin Malcuit and Axel Tuanzebe out of action, while Lorenzo Insigne is only fit for the bench.

Luciano Spalletti switches to a 4-3-3 formation with Matteo Politano, Osimhen and Lozano upfront.

Verona miss Darko Lazovic, Panagiotis Retsos, Matteo Cancellieri and Pawel Dawidowicz, while Antonin Barak is still struggling with a hip issue.

Cholito Simeone leads the way and is hoping to continue his current form after a hat-trick against Venezia, with support from Gianluca Caprari.

There is a long-running bitter rivalry between these clubs, so it is never just about the three points.

Verona: Montipò; Ceccherini, Gunter, Sutalo; Faraoni, Tameze, Ilic, Depaoli; Barak, Caprari; Simeone

Napoli: Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Fabian Ruiz; Politano, Osimhen, Lozano
