Napoli look to Alisson Santos, Rasmus Hojlund and Antonio Vergara for their trip to troubled Hellas Verona, as Giovane is on the bench against his old club.

It kicks off at the Stadio Bentegodi at 17.00 GMT (18.00 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Como-Lecce and Inter-Genoa on the Liveblog.

The Partenopei are sliding down the standings after the 2-2 draw with Roma and controversial 2-1 defeat to Atalanta.

Scott McTominay, Frank Anguissa, David Neres, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani and Kevin De Bruyne are still out of action.

That again means Eljif Elmas drops to midfield, with January signing Alisson Santos part of the trident attack with Hojlund and Vergara.

Giovane made the January move from Verona to Napoli, but he is only on the bench with his old club.

Another change sees Alex Meret take the gloves from Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.

Verona remain rock bottom of the table alongside Pisa on just 15 points from 26 rounds, and it will take a miracle to avoid relegation.

They are without a win since December 14 against Fiorentina, managing to scrape together only three draws from their last 11 games.

Nicolas Valentini and Roberto Gagliardini return to the fold after the 3-0 defeat to Sassuolo, but Gift Orban and Moatasem Al-Musrati are suspended.

The absentee list includes Rafik Belghali, Pol Lirola, Antoine Bernede, Sandi Lovric and Suat Serdar.

The attack is led by January arrival Kieron Bowie, who was brought in from Hibernian.
