Serie A: Roma vs. Napoli – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV | OneFootball

Manu Koné is expected to start in the Roma midfield against Napoli this evening, while Antonio Conte won’t change his front three at the Olimpico.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The Giallorossi are without Angelino and Artem Dovbyk, while Napoli’s injury list is much longer as the Partenopei have travelled to the capital without Romelu Lukaku, Alex Meret, Kevin De Bruyne, Frank Zambo Anguissa, Billy Gilmour and Miguel Gutierrez.

Multiple sources, including Sky, claim that Koné is fit to start despite an ankle injury suffered in the previous Europa League match against Midtjylland. Neil El Aynaoui is also expected to be available, but will probably start on the bench.

There’s a doubt on whether Paulo Dybala or Tommaso Baldanzi will start as a false nine for Roma.

Mario Hermoso is set to join Gianluca Mancini and Evan Ndicka in central defence for the Giallorossi.

Napoli will reply with a three-man defence, and an attacking trio of David Neres, Noa Lang and Rasmus Hojlund starting the third consecutive match.

Whoever wins this game will take the top spot, as Roma are two points behind leaders Milan with a game in hand, while Napoli are three points behind the Rossoneri.
