Serie A: Napoli vs. Roma – Probable line-ups and where to watch on TV
Napoli are without Scott McTominay, while Roma will have to do without Paulo Dybala for Sunday’s Serie A clash between the sides, which could have major implications on the race for the Champions League positions.
Napoli sit in third place in the Serie A table ahead of kick-off, three points in front of the fifth-placed Roma.
Napoli, hosting this evening at the Stadio Maradona, have won their last two matches in Serie A, but have more recently been eliminated from the Coppa Italia after a 1-1 draw against Como in the quarter-finals, resulting in a 7-6 defeat on penalties.
The Giallorossi picked up a 2-0 victory against Cagliari last time out in Serie A, bouncing back after a disappointing 1-0 loss away against Udinese at the beginning of February.
McTominay misses out on Sunday with a tendon issue. Antonio Conte is also without Kevin De Bruyne, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Billy Gilmour in midfield, so Eljif Elmas is expected to keep his place alongside Stanislav Lobotka.
Juan Jesus is suspended, which means that Sam Beukema is expected to return to the back three alongside Amir Rrahmani and Alessandro Buongiorno.
David Neres and Giovanni Di Lorenzo are also unavailable through injury.
Roma, meanwhile, are likely to be without Dybala and Matias Soule remains a doubt as well. Lorenzo Pellegrini and Donyell Malen are expected to keep their places in the Giallorossi attack.
Gian Piero Gasperini is also without key players in Manu Kone, Mario Hermoso, Artem Dovbyk, Evan Ferguson, Robinio Vaz and Stephan El Shaarawy.
Kick-off is due at 19.45 GMT.
