Serie A line-ups: Napoli vs. Verona | OneFootball

Napoli have an opportunity to break free at the top of the table with David Neres standing in for wantaway Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but Verona already shocked them once.

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 19.45 GMT.

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

The Partenopei can take advantage of the fixture list to create a cushion in the lead, especially after Atalanta were held to a draw by Udinese.

With some Inter and Atalanta games postponed by the Supercoppa Italiana, it’s a chance for Antonio Conte to take control of the standings.

However, they were shaken over the last 48 hours by news Kvaratskhelia – who was injured anyway – had demanded a January transfer towards Paris Saint-Germain.

Alessandro Buongiorno and Mathias Olivera are also out of action, so David Neres takes hold of that left flank, with Matteo Politano returning on the right around Romelu Lukaku.

Hellas Verona beat Napoli 3-0 in the opening game of the season, then plunged into a crisis, but have turned a corner of late with 3-2 wins away to Parma and Bologna, then drawing 0-0 with Udinese.

Suat Serdar and Jackson Tchatchoua are both suspended, with Abdou Harroui, Juan Manuel Cruz and Martin Frese long-term absentees.
