New Juventus signing Randal Kolo Muani is expected to start against Napoli, who must cope without left-back Mathías Olivera and will rely on David Neres, Matteo Politano and Romelu Lukaku in attack.

It kicks off at 18:00 CET (17:00 GMT) at the Stadio Maradona in Naples.

It’s one of the historic rivalries in Serie A, and even if Thiago Motta’s men are still unbeaten in league matches this term, they are 13 points below the Partenopei, current table leaders.

Alessandro Buongiorno will be available for the home side but will start on the bench after recovering from a lumbar vertebra fracture, while the only unavailable player, Olivera, will be replaced by Leonardo Spinazzola.

Arkadiusz Milik, a former Napoli striker, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal are unavailable for Juventus.

New signing Kolo Muani is expected to start as a sole striker, pushing Dusan Vlahovic to the bench for the third consecutive match.

Nico Gonzalez and Kenan Yildiz will be the wingers, while Teun Koopmeiners, Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram will complete Bianconeri’s three-man midfield.
