Luciano Spalletti assures it is ‘not a challenge between’ himself and Jose Mourinho today, as Napoli and Roma both feel the duty to go for victory.
It kicks off at 18.00 UK time (17.00 GMT), you can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Atalanta-Verona on the LIVEBLOG.
“Every time I take to the field, there are opponents of a high level who are well-prepared, so we have great respect for everyone,” Spalletti told DAZN.
“Naturally, Mourinho’s history gives him something extra, but it is not a challenge between the coaches. It’s which team can make the most of their opportunities.”
The home defeat to Fiorentina was another hammer blow in Napoli’s Scudetto dream, so Spalletti was asked if this game represented their last knockout opportunity.
“It will be an in or out clash every week as long as the statistics show that. I don’t know what the stats are, but I do know we have the duty to try to win every game.”
