Napoli play their first international friendly of pre-season at OGC Nice with Lorenzo Insigne, Manolo Gabbiadini and Allan.
It kicks off on the French Riviera at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT) and is the first genuine test for new Coach Maurizio Sarri.
The biggest transformation has been from the midfield up, where Mirko Valdifiori was brought in from Empoli.
Insigne is played in a new trequartista role behind the strikers, though Marek Hamsik, Gonzalo Higuain and Pepe Reina are nursing knocks.

Ex-Tottenham defender Vlad Chiriches is on the bench along with Elseid Hysaj, despite the fact the Albanian’s transfer from Empoli is not complete yet.
Former Udinese midfielder Allan starts, as does on-loan Milan goalkeeper Gabriel.
There was crowd trouble before the game, as police used tear gas against Napoli ultras who threw fireworks and lit fires near the stadium.
The Nice fans then exchanged a hail of objects with Partenopei supporters. French media had warned of trouble beforehand, as Nice ultras are twinned with Inter, who have a rivalry with Napoli.
