Serie A official Week 16 line-ups: Napoli vs. Parma

Serie A official Week 16 line-ups: Napoli vs. Parma

Napoli bring Noa Lang into the starting XI with Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund against a totally revamped Parma in this rescheduled Week 16 fixture.

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 17.30 GMT (18.30 CET).

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

These Week 16 matches were rescheduled from December due to the Supercoppa Italiana commitments, with Verona-Bologna and Como-Milan tomorrow.

Napoli are fresh from a 2-2 thriller at San Siro in the Scudetto showdown with Inter, which saw them caught in joint third place by Roma and Juventus.

That was their second consecutive 2-2 result after fighting back from 2-0 down to scrape a point here against Verona in the midweek round.

Juan Jesus was booked in that battle with Inter and is therefore suspended, while Alex Meret joined Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne, Billy Gilmour and Romelu Lukaku on the treatment table.

David Neres returns to the bench after an ankle sprain forced him to miss the last couple of games, while Lang is brought in to give Eljif Elmas a rest.

Antonio Conte was sent off from the touchline and begins his two-match touchline ban.

Parma are coming off a 2-1 victory away to Lecce, which saw them surge up the standings away from the danger zone.

They also had recent wins over Fiorentina, Pisa and Verona.

Coach Carlos Cuesta has quite a few injuries to deal with too, missing Pontus Almqvist, Vicente Guaita, Zion Suzuki, Abdoulaye Ndiaye, Mathias Lovik and Matija Frigan.

He has decided for a total and complete revolution, including a three-man defence, with Patrick Cutrone supported by Jacob Ondrejka rather than Mateo Pellegrino.

There’s even a change in goal, with Filippo Rinaldi given his Serie A debut.

Napoli: Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno; Mazzocchi, Lobotka, McTominay, Olivera; Politano, Hojlund, Lang

Parma: Rinaldi; Circati, Troilo, Valenti; Britschgi, Estevez, Keita, Sorensen, Ordonez; Ondrejka; Cutrone

Quick take: Match context: momentum and small details could decide this one, especially set-pieces and transitions. Form and fitness will matter; expect managers to rotate carefully around the congested schedule. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
