Napoli are right back in the Scudetto race after beating Milan to fly into second with five consecutive victories, and could add more pressure on Inter, who face a tricky trip to Como this evening.

Hojlund missed the Milan match after coming down with a stomach bug, but he has made a full recovery, so can start along with McTominay, De Bruyne and Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa.

David Neres, Antonio Vergara, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani and Romelu Lukaku are still out of action, but Matteo Politano is back in the starting XI, replacing Miguel Gutierrez, after his goal off the bench against Milan.

Parma are struggling and risk sliding back into the danger zone after just three draws in the last five rounds.

To make matters worse, centre-forward Mateo Pellegrino is suspended this afternoon, with Benja Cremaschi and Matija Frigan injured.

There were a few options to choose from, with Gabriel Strefezza, Gaetano Oristanio, Jacob Ondrejka and Nesta Elphege all vying for the attacking roles.

It’s a big loss, as Pellegrino is easily their top scorer with eight Serie A goals this season, followed by midfielder Adrian Bernabé on three.

Parma are a tricky prospect for the Partenopei, as their last two meetings both ended 0-0.
