Napoli are expected to drop Dries Mertens in favour of Arkadiusz Milik in a 4-3-3 formation against Lazio on Saturday.
The Serie A opener kicks off at 19.30 UK time (18.30 GMT).
Coach Carlo Ancelotti has replaced Maurizio Sarri and changed their tactics, particularly as Jorginho also left for Chelsea this summer.
In today’s training session, the Partenopei tested out a trident attack with Jose Callejon and Lorenzo Insigne flanking Milik.
This means leaving Mertens, their top scorer last season and fresh from an impressive World Cup with Belgium, on the bench.
An approach like this would explain why Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis is so adamant they don't need to sign another striker.
New signing Fabian Ruiz should be on the left side of midfield, with Marek Hamsik moved to a more central role.
With Alex Meret injured after breaking a bone in his arm during his second training session, Orestis Karnezis is in goal.
Napoli today agreed terms with Arsenal ‘keeper David Ospina, but it’s likely he won’t be risked from the start so quickly.
Napoli (probable): Karnezis; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Allan, Hamsik, Fabian; Callejon, Milik, Insigne
