You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Partenopei need a victory to keep up the pace with leaders Inter, who fought back from 2-0 down to beat Monza 3-2 last night.

Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, David Neres and Pasquale Mazzocchi are still out injured, so Gilmour is confirmed in midfield and Raspadori partners Lukaku in a 3-5-2 formation.

There is no rest for McTominay, despite admissions he is not fully fit.

Matias Olivera is available again, but Leonardo Spinazzola and Matteo Politano take the wing-back roles.

Fiorentina are having a strange run of form, losing three in a row in Serie A until the 1-0 win over Lecce, then losing the first leg of their Conference League Round of 16 tie on Thursday, falling 3-2 away to Panathinaikos.

Coach Raffaele Palladino rotated his squad in that game and also has to keep an eye on the second leg next Thursday.

Some changes are forced, because Andrea Colpani and ex-Napoli midfielder Michael Folorunsho are still injured, plus Nicolò Zaniolo and Rolando Mandragora both suspended.

Yacine Adli is not at 100 per cent yet following his lay-off, but Marin Pongracic and David De Gea return to the starting XI.

Fagioli pulls the midfield strings behind Albert Gudmundsson and top scorer Kean.

When these sides met in Florence on January 4, Napoli emerged 3-0 winners.
