Serie A: Napoli vs. Atalanta – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV

Napoli coach Antonio Conte will switch to a three-man defence against Atalanta, while Raffaele Palladino will make his debut as La Dea’s coach.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT) at the Stadio Maradona in Naples.

The Partenopei will be looking for a reaction after a 2-0 away loss before the break, which infuriated Conte.

During the break, the defending champions even lost Frank Anguissa to a serious muscle injury, so the Cameroon international will be forced to the sidelines today alongside Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Alex Meret and Billy Gilmour.

Multiple sources, including Gazzetta and Corriere dello Sport, claim that Conte will return to a three-man defence with Sam Beukema joining Amir Rrahmani and Alessandro Buongiorno at the back.

Noa Lang and David Neres are expected to start on the wings, with Rasmus Hojlund up front.

Palladino will make his debut as Atalanta’s coach today and will likely rely on Gianluca Scamacca up front.

Berat Djimsiti and Honest Ahanor battle for a starting spot in central defence, while Nicola Zalewski is favourite over Davide Zappacosta in the left wing-back position.
