Serie A official line-ups: Roma vs. Napoli

Serie A official line-ups: Roma vs. Napoli

Roma hope Evan Ferguson and Matias Soulé can keep hold of top spot as they host Napoli in a Scudetto showdown with Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 19.45 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Giallorossi became sole Serie A leaders last weekend after Inter stumbled, while Napoli are two points behind them.

Right now, Milan are top after their win over Lazio last night, having already played.

Roma have found their form under Gian Piero Gasperini and got back on track in the Europa League too with Thursday’s 2-1 win over Midtjylland.

Paulo Dybala not only made his return to the squad after injury in that match, but was thrown straight into the starting XI.

However, he is fatigued after that game and is therefore rested in favour of Ferguson, with support from Soulé and Lorenzo Pellegrini, while Manu Koné has shaken off a knock to start in midfield.

Artem Dovbyk and Angelino are the only remaining players on the absentee list.

Gasperini will not be on the touchline, as he sits out a ban following his red card for dissent.

Napoli have a packed treatment room, missing Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Billy Gilmour, Kevin De Bruyne, Miguel Gutierrez, Alex Meret and Romelu Lukaku.

Antonio Conte reacted to the crisis by reshuffling his tactics once again to a 3-4-3 with David Neres and Noa Lang flanking Hojlund.

This means dropping Matteo Politano to the bench again, with Mathias Olivera on the left flank.

It proved effective, earning two consecutive victories over Atalanta and Qarabag.

The Giallorossi have a very poor record against Napoli, winning only one of their last 11 Serie A meetings, home and away, which was 2-0 here in December 2023.

Roma: Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Celik, Koné, Cristante, Wesley; Soulé, Pellegrini; Ferguson

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

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.
