Juventus' recent form has been excellent, but they can't afford many more slip-ups. Lose today and they will remain seven points behind leaders Milan having played the same number of games.

Have a look!
33'
Chiellini is playing a dangerous game as he slides in hard on Osimhen. He wins the ball on this occasion, though. Insigne then fires over the bar. Napoli's tails are up!
31'
GOAL! Napoli 1-0 Juventus (Lorenzo Insigne, pen): An excellent penalty from Insigne gives Napoli the lead! He slams it into the roof of the net, Szcznesy had no chance!
30'
Penalty to Napoli! After consultation, the referee points to the spot and books Chiellini! Insigne is going to take the spot-kick, and what a golden opportunity for the hosts!
28'
Possible Napoli penalty! Rrahmani is down inside the box and screaming in pain after challenging to meet Insigne's cross. He's caught by the arm of Chiellini and VAR is going to have a look at this.
25'
24'
An excellent cross is delivered by the excellent Cuadrado. Meret is brave and gets there before Ronaldo to punch clear. Again, the offside flag is up against the Portuguese, but the Napoli goalkeeper wasn't to know that.
23'
Yellow card! Lorenzo makes a poor challenge on Chiesa in a desperate bid to retrieve possession having lost the ball.

Lozano comes forward for Napoli, leading the counter with a run through the middle. He decides to hit an early shot, but it's never troubling Szcznesy.
17'
Decent spell in the game for Napoli, this. They win two corners in succession, the latest sees Lozano heading wide from a tight angle.
15'
Wide! Excellent defending from De Lit as he matches Lozano for pace and blocks his cross. Insigne pounces on the rebound but his first-time shot fails to test Szcznesy.
14'
Over! Morata dribbles into the box and gets a pass away. Ronaldo leaves it for Bernadeschi, who leans back and blazes a shot high into the stands. Best chance so far.
11'
Cuadrado cuts the ball back into the box where Ronaldo's shot is blocked, but Cuadrado was in offside position anyway.
10'
An excellent ball from Bernadeschi finds Ronaldo, who stays onside this time. But Rui tracks his run all the way and manages to block his cross.
9'
Ronaldo makes a run between the centre-halves but is just caught inches offside. That was close.
8'
CuadraDo is searching for Morata with a devilish cross from the right flank. Rrahmani gets a crucial touch to take it away from the Juve forward.
7'
Juve are quickly back on the attack as Napoli concede possession once more. Ronaldo's shot from distance is easily gathered by Meret on this occasion.
6'
Bernandeschi delivers the cross, Rabiot meets it but can't keep his header down.
5'
Napoli have made a sluggish start, sloppy in possession and now they have a corner to defend as Ronaldo's cross is deflected behind.
