Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri returns to Naples to face his former club at the Stadio Maradona in a match between Victor Osimhen and Ciro Immobile.

It kicks off at 19.45 on Friday.

Napoli have an 18-point lead over second-placed Inter while Lazio are involved in the race for a Champions League placement.

The Partenopei must cope without the suspended Mario Rui who will be replaced by Mathias Olivera. Giacomo Raspadori is injured. The only doubt for Spalletti appears to be on the right wing, where Hirving Lozano is favourite over Matteo Politano.

Lazio’s Nicolò Casale is also serving a one-match ban, but Alessio Romagnoli and Mattia Zaccagni return to the starting XI.

Pedro is not fully fit. Not only is he using a protective mask following a nose injury, but he also sustained a hand injury in Lazio’s last Serie A match against Sampdoria.

Lazio’s last win in Naples was in 2015, while these two sides have collected just one draw in their last 19 meetings.

Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Lozano, Osimhen, Kvara.
