The Partenopei know that if they lose this evening, Juventus will mathematically be crowned Champions of Italy without even stepping on to the pitch.

The Bianconeri’s 2-1 win over Milan last night means Napoli need a point, because otherwise they can’t overtake them in the table, having an inferior head-to-head record.

Carlo Ancelotti’s focus is also on the upcoming Europa League quarter-final against Arsenal, so Insigne only back on the bench after a muscular injury.

Simone Verdi had been expected to start, but will not be risked after a muscular twinge in training today, while Raul Albiol and Amadou Diawara are injured.

Faouzi Ghoulam makes his comeback after three weeks out injured, while Orestis Karnezis gets a rare run-out in goal.

Genoa don’t seem to do things by halves, as they were capable of beating Lazio and Juventus, yet lost 4-0 to Inter midweek.

Cristian Romero was sent off in that match and is therefore suspended along with fellow defender Ervin Zukanovic, so Gunter steps in and Domenico Criscito moves to a centre-back role.

Former Napoli striker Goran Pandev is partnered by potential future Partenopei forward Christian Kouame.

Napoli: Karnezis; Hysaj, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Callejon, Allan, Fabian, Zielinski; Mertens, Milik

Genoa: Radu; Biraschi, Gunter, Criscito, Pereira; Sturaro, Veloso, Bessa, Lazovic; Kouame, Pandev
