Serie A: Napoli vs. Milan – Probable line-ups and where to watch on TV
Napoli are expected to deploy their midfield ‘fab four’ when they host Massimiliano Allegri and Milan in a huge clash in the late push for the Serie A title on Easter Monday.
It is a matter of second vs. third in the Serie A table with just one point separating Antonio Conte’s side from the Rossoneri ahead of kick-off.
Hosts Napoli currently occupy third place on 62 points and will be hoping to move within seven points of league leaders Inter, who beat Roma 5-2 on Sunday evening. The Partenopei went into the international break with a four-game win streak under their belts.
The second-placed Rossoneri have won three of their last four before facing Napoli, but have recorded defeats against Lazio and at home against Parma across their last five.
For the first time this calendar year, all four of Stanislav Lobotka, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne are expected to start alongside each other in midfield.
Romelu Lukaku, meanwhile, is facing disciplinary action from the club after failing to report for training last week and is expected to be frozen out of the team as a result.
As for Milan, pre-match reports indicate that there could be a brand-new strike partnership of Niclas Fullkrug and Christopher Nkunku on Monday evening, which would mean both Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic starting on the bench.
Adrien Rabiot is expected to be available to start despite dropping out of the France national team squad on precautionary grounds during the break.
Kick-off this evening is due at 19.45 BST.
