Napoli will be looking to exact revenge over Lazio three days following the Coppa Italia elimination.
The contest will take place at the Stadio Mardona in Naples. It kicks off on Sunday, 20:45 local time.
With a full squad at his disposal, Antonio Conte will certainly resort to his well-known ideal starting lineup, after making a complete rotation in the cup. Alex Meret should return in goal, with the backline consisting of Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Alessandro Buongiorno and Mathias Olivera.
Stanislav Lobotka will operate as the deep-lying playmaker, supported by Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and the in-form Scott McTominay. On the wings, Matteo Politano and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will resume their duty, with Romelu Lukaku spearheading the charge.
Napoli (4-3-3) : Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Lukaku, Kvaratskhelia
Marco Baroni will be without the injured Matias Vecino and the suspended Nicolo Rovella in midfield, while Luca Pellegrini was left in Rome due to physical discomfort. Nevertheless, Lazio have regained the services of Nuno Tavares and Boulaye Dia, and both men could be in the starting lineup.
The Portuguese should join Manuel Lazzari, Mario Gila and Alessio Romagnoli at the back, while Matteo Guendouzi and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru are the solitary choices in midfield, as Gaetano Castrovilli hasn’t regained his optimal physical shape just yet. Gustav Isaksen and Mattia Zaccagni should take the flanks, while Taty Castellanos replaces Tijjani Noslin in attack.
Lazio (4-2-3-1) : Provedel; Lazzari, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares; Guendouzi, Dele-Bashiru; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos.
