Serie A: Napoli vs Roma – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV
Antonio Conte will rely on Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay for a home game against Claudio Ranieri’s Roma.
It kicks off at 18:00 CET (16:00 GMT) at the Stadio Maradona in Naples.
The Partenopei will aim to reply to Inter and Atalanta, who jumped to the top spot on Saturday thanks to convincing wins over Hellas Verona and Parma, respectively.
Conte can rely on a full squad, including Scotland international McTominay, who was subbed off in Scotland’s 2-1 win over Poland on Monday.
Ranieri returned to the Roma dugout during the November break, replacing Ivan Juric. It’s the third time the Italian tactician has taken charge of the Giallorossi.
Ranieri will switch to a four-man defence, starting Gianluca Mancini and Evan N’dicka as centre-backs.
Paulo Dybala is not fully fit, so he’s expected to start on the bench. Alexis Saelemaekers, Mario Hermoso and Eldor Shomurodov are unavailable for the Giallorossi.
As reported by Sky Sport Italia, Nicola Zalewski is favourite over Matias Soulé, meaning Stephan El Shaarawy will start as a right winger.
