“The Napoli we see today is almost unbeatable,” said Coach Iachini in his Press conference.

“We are talking about a team that has won the Coppa Italia, Italian Super Cup and had its say in Europe. Plus they have a great tactician like Rafa Benitez.

“We’d need the perfect attitude, mentality and performance. We will play our game, as always, without fear and aware of our strengths.

“We proved at the San Paolo that we can hurt them, but it will be a very tough match indeed.”

These sides drew 3-3 in Naples earlier this season with Andrea Belotti’s brace and there are reports Palermo could field the Italy Under-21 international in a trident with Paulo Dybala and Franco Vazquez.

“I will think about the trident, but it has its pros and cons. I do keep it in mind, just as the four-man defence is another option. We must avoid the usual distractions on set plays which have penalised us recently.”

Michel Morganella is suffering from flu symptoms, so it’s possible Andrea Rispoli will start tomorrow.

The Sicilians sent Ezequiel Munoz to Sampdoria in January when he refused to sign a new contract, but Dybala and captain Edgar Barreto are also in negotiations for an extension.

“I must say Dybala and Barreto are relaxed, focused on the game and do not seem distracted by these situations,” noted Iachini.

“I have positive sensations and think everything will go well. This is not like the Munoz situation at all.”
