Napoli will look to Giacomo Raspadori and Romelu Lukaku for a Serie A title decider against Cagliari tonight.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at the Stadio Maradona in Naples.
The Azzurri’s fate is in their hands as a win will be enough to clinch the second title in three years, regardless of Inter’s result in Como.
Antonio Conte is still short of options in defence as Juan Jesus and Alessandro Buongiorno are unavailable. The same is true of Stanislav Lobotka in central midfield, who will be replaced by Billy Gilmour.
As reported by Sky Sport Italia and other media, Conte will stick to a 4-4-2 system, with Scott McTominay as a left midfielder and Raspadori and Lukaku in attack.
Cagliari secured survival with a game to spare last week, but Davide Nicola is still not expected to rotate much, although Zito Luvumbo, Mattia Felici and Leonardo Pavoletti are injured.
Napoli loanees Gianluca Gaetano and Elia Caprile are also unavailable due to injuries.
