Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri is expected to switch to a three-man defence against Frosinone, who arrive at the Stadio Maradona three points ahead of the hosts.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET [19:45 BST] at the Stadio Maradona.

The Partenopei are still without several players: Alessandro Buongiorno, Franck-Zambo Anguissa, Alisson Santos, Antonio Vergara, Mathias Olivera and Costantino Favasuli are injured, but Scott McTominay is back after undergoing a heart procedure and can play for 20 or 30 minutes today.

Italian sources, including Corriere dello Sport, claim that Allegri will switch to a three-man defence, using Giovanni Di Lorenzo as a right midfielder and leaving Matteo Politano on the bench.

David Neres and Noa Lang are expected to be the attacking wingers, with Kevin De Bruyne deployed as a central midfielder.

Frosinone have earned ten points so far, three more than Napoli, and beat Como 2-0 in their most recent league game before the break. Antonio Raimondo sustained a minor injury before the break, so he’s not expected to start but is available on the bench.

The match is available on DAZN in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a live blog.
