The Giallorossi can close to within a point of Milan in fourth place with a victory here, but need to shake off the disappointing defeat to SPAL as they went into the break for international duty.

Alessandro Florenzi and Stephan El Shaarawy picked up injuries during their time training with Italy, while Daniele De Rossi returns to midfield.

Manolas returns to the starting XI, but it’s a change from Claudio Ranieri’s usual 4-4-2 to a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Surprisingly, Patrik Schick, Bryan Cristante and Diego Perotti fan out behind Edin Dzeko, because Nicolò Zaniolo has a stomach bug.

Napoli have their own problems to deal with, as Piotr Zielinski is suspended, with Lorenzo Insigne, Raul Albiol, Amadou Diawara, Faouzi Ghoulam, Vlad Chiriches and David Ospina injured.

Elseid Hysaj and Mario Rui get the nod at full-back, with Fabian Ruiz fully recovered from a bout of flu that put him in hospital for a few days and Allan ready following international duty with Brazil.

Simone Verdi is given the nod on the left flank, with Arkadiusz Milik and Dries Mertens in attack.
