Maurizio Sarri’s men are top of the Serie A table and drop down into the Europa League after finishing third in their Champions League group behind Manchester City and Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Partenopei have made absolutely no secret of their focus on winning the Scudetto for the first time since the 1990s, so Sarri rotates the squad with the likes of Marko Rog, Lorenzo Tonelli and Amadou Diawara.
Ounas joins Zielinski and makeshift centre-forward Callejon, as Dries Mertens and January buy Zinedine Machach are suspended.
RB Leipzig are a relatively new club, but currently sit second in the Bundesliga and are known for their attacking flair.
The star name is Naby Keita, who has already agreed a transfer to Liverpool for next season, and he starts in midfield, but Stefan Ilsanker is suspended.
Diego Demme – whose father is Neapolitan and was named after Maradona – is not fully fit and only sits on the bench with Emil Forsberg, who is also carrying an injury.
Napoli: Reina; Maggio, Tonelli, Koulibaly, Hysaj; Rog, Diawara, Hamsik; Ounas, Callejon, Zielinski
Napoli bench: Sepe, Rafael, Mario Rui, Albiol, Jorginho, Allan, Insigne
RB Leipzig: Gulacsi; Laimer, Orban, Upamecano, Klostermann; Sabitzer, Kampl, Keita, Bruma; Poulsen, Werner
RB Leipzig bench: Mvogo, Bernardo, Konate, Forsberg, Laimer, Demme, Augustin
