• Antonio La Gumina will drop to the bench against Napoli in order for Empoli to field a more balanced starting XI. Ismael Bennacer did well in Empoli’s defeat against Juventus and his display should grant him another start on Friday night.

• Carlo Ancelotti is more open to rotation around Champions League games than his predecessor Maurizio Sarri and this match should not prove any different. Marek Hamsik and Raúl Albiol are therefore expected to sit out here to keep them fresh for Paris Saint-Germain next week.

• Napoli were held to a 1-1 draw by Roma last time out in the league but generally played well.

• Empoli impressed against Juventus but fell to a 2-1 defeat after Cristiano Ronaldo scored a stunning winner.

• Napoli are favourites to win here but cannot underestimate Empoli, as Juventus almost did.
