Randal Kolo Muani is expected to return to the starting line-up when Juventus host Lazio in Serie A, as the Biancocelesti look to return to the top of the league table with a victory in Turin on Sunday evening.
Juventus are coming in off the back of a 2-1 victory away against Celta Vigo in the Europa League on Thursday night, a game that saw Luciano Spalletti make several rotations, including a start for Nick Woltemade at centre-forward.
Their last Serie A match ended in a 1-1 draw away against Cagliari, a frustrating occasion that saw Spalletti sent off at full-time after a heated touchline argument with Fabio Pisacane. He will have to serve his suspension against Lazio this evening.
Lazio are enjoying life under Gennaro Gattuso, who has picked up five victories and one draw in his first six Serie A matches in charge of the Biancocelesti.
They started where they left off after the international break, claiming a 3-1 victory over Monza, although Gattuso was not best pleased with his side’s second-half performance.
Tonight’s hosts are still without Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli through injury, as well as Jeremie Boga, Jeff Ekhator and the lesser seen Kamil Grabara and Arkadiusz Milik.
Juventus are expected to make several alterations to the side that beat Celta Vigo midweek, including a return at centre-forward for Kolo Muani. Nico Gonzalez is also expected to return to the starting XI, in place of either Francisco Conceicao or Kerim Alajbegovic. Douglas Luiz looks set to return in midfield in place of Teun Koopmeiners as well.
Napoli are not expected to make many changes to their winning side, although Sky Sport Italia predicts that Josip Sutalo will start over Danilho Doekhi at centre-back.
Kick-off this evening is due at 19.45 BST.
