CITY TAKE MANCHESTER DERBY SPOILS
This is not the only blockbuster game in Europe today. In the Premier League, Phil Foden inspired Manchester City to a comeback win against rivals Manchester United.
CAN NAPOLI STRING SOME WINS TOGETHER?
Napoli have not won two league games in a row since September. But a 6-1 win at Sassuolo last time out has given them some cause for optimism, as did the 1-1 draw with Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.
Napoli are on their third manager of the season, former assistant Francesco Calzona, and he is yet to lose a game - albeit he's only had three in charge. The hope is Calzona can tap into what is clearly still a talented group and salvage the season via European qualification.
JUVE SEEKING TO COMPLETE LEAGUE DOUBLE OVER NAPOLI
It would be the first time since the 2018/19 season.
Not since 1994/95 have they kept two clean sheets against Napoli in the same Serie A season, but that could also happen tonight.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE REVERSE FIXTURE?
Juventus beat Napoli 1-0 at home in December, with Federico Gatti scoring the game's only goal. He is on the bench today.
AN EVEN HEAD-TO-HEAD
Both teams have five wins from the last 11 Serie A games between these two, with there having been one draw.
ILLING-JUNIOR STARTS FOR JUVE
Englishman Samuel Iling-Junior comes into a Juventus team weakened by injuries as one of four changes.
Alex Sandro beefs up the defence, while Carlos ALcaraz - on loan from Southampton - and Fabio Miretti replace the injured Weston McKennie and Adrien Rabiot in midfield. Expect Illing-Junior to be a wingback.
Dusan Vlahovic, Juve's in-form striker, leads the attack fresh from a brace last time out.
Juventus: Szczesny, Bremer, Rugani, Sandro, Cambiaso Alcaraz, Locatelli, Miretti, Illing-Junior, Vlahovic, Chiesa.
TWO CHANGES FOR NAPOLI
The home side make two changes, both at the back. Mathias Olivera and Juan Jesus replace Mario Rui and Leo Ostigard, who both drop to the bench.
Victor Osimhen, who is in brilliant form, leads the attack flanked by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Matteo Politano.
Napoli: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Olivera, Anguissa, Lobotka, Traore, Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.
JUVE VISIT THE REIGNING CHAMPIONS
Welcome to LIVE coverage of Napoli's trip to Juventus, with the reigning Serie A champions taking on the team that has won the division more times than any other.
However, neither are in great shape at present. Juve, while second, trail the leaders by 12 points. Napoli, down in eighth, are 29 behind and more pressingly 11 off a top-four spot.
Both have major ground to make up then and can ill afford to drop points in this one. Team news coming up next.
