Walter Mazzarri and Simone Inzaghi are expected to name their strongest available line-ups when Napoli host Inter at the Stadio Maradona in Sunday evening’s headline Serie A fixture. 

Victor Osimhen is expected to return to his starting position between Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Matteo Politano on the wings. The Nigerian has not started since picking up a hamstring injury while away on international duty in October. 

Inter, meanwhile, will still have to do without the services of Alessandro Bastoni and Benjamin Pavard at the back. Matteo Darmian, Stefan De Vrij and Francesco Acerbi are likely to form the back three, as was the case against Juventus last weekend. 

The Nerazzurri require one point to regain their lead at the top of the Serie A table, while a win would see them move two points clear of Juve. 

A win for Napoli would keep them in fourth, but would close the gap to Milan in third to just two points. 

Kick-off is set for 19:45 GMT. 

Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Natan; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.

Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Darmian, De Vrij, Acerbi; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro.
