Napoli boss Antonio Conte could change formation in huge Juventus clash

Serie A will witness a massive game invovling Juventus and Napoli later today, when Antonio Conte will return to Turin to take on his former club.

With both clubs on their way up and Napoli having improved considerably under Conte after the opening day defeat to Verona, there has been talk of a drastic formation change from Conte.

Corriere dello Sport have stated that the Italian made sure that his side trained in a 4-3-3 shape and in a 3-5-2 shape, which is different from his current 3-4-2-1 setup.

La Gazzetta dello Sport have gone on to state that this indeed happened, as relayed by TuttoNapoli. TChe possibility of Conte using a 4-3-3 or a 3-5-2 is gaining ground and a 3-5-2 will make sure that Matteo Politano will be excluded from the starting XI. Scott McTominay could come in to the midfield.

Having said that, there is also talk that this could be a leak from Conte to confuse Juve and to raise dust in the eyes of the opposition ahead of a big game.
