Napoli are in crisis and forced to revamp with Giacomo Raspadori and Alessio Zerbin against mid-table Monza.

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 17.30 GMT.

Losing three of their last four Serie A games has seen the Partenopei slide to seventh place in Serie A, but the defeat to Roma was particularly painful because Victor Osimhen and Matteo Politano are suspended after their red cards.

Natan also dislocated his clavicle and is out for at least six weeks, with Mathias Olivera injured and Eljif Elmas already sold to RB Leipzig.

The only piece of good news is that Stanislav Lobotka has recovered from bruised ribs to start in midfield, while Alessio Zerbin and Giacomo Raspadori preferred to Jesper Lindstrom and Giovanni Simeone.

Monza aren’t doing well at the moment either, losing three of the last four, including a 3-0 defeat away to Milan.

Pablo Mari is suspended, with Andrea Carboni and Gianluca Caprari out of action, plus Papu Gomez continuing his doping ban.

Lorenzo Colombo and Dany Mota Carvalho lead the attack, as Andrea Colpani and Armando Izzo are not at 100 per cent.

Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus, Mario Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Zerbin, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia

Monza: Di Gregorio; Pereira, Caldirola, D’Ambrosio; Ciurria, Akpa Akpro, Gagliardini, V Carboni; Pessina, Mota Carvalho; Colombo
