Napoli rely on Victor Osimhene and Chucky Lozano, but Lorenzo Insigne is only fit for the bench against Giovanni Simeone's Hellas Verona.
It starts at the Stadio Bentegodi at 14.00 GMT.
Partenopei is really feeling the pressure after the home loss to Milan, especially as not only do they risk being thrown out of the Scudetto race, but Juventus are also fast catching up behind them.
There is also the problem of injury, with Alex Meret, Kevin Malakut and Axel Tuanzebe out of action, while Lorenzo Insigne is only fit for the bench.
Luciano Spalletti switches to a 4-3-3 formation with Matteo Politano, Ocimene and Lozano upfront.
Verona miss out on Darko Lazovic, Panagiotis Retsos, Matteo Cancelliari and Pavel Davydowicz, while Antonin Barak still struggles with a hip problem.
Cholito Simeone is looking forward and hopes to continue his current form after a hat-trick against Venezia with the support of Gianluca Capri.
There is a long-running bitter rivalry between these clubs, so it is not just about three points.
Verona: Montipu; Cecherini, Gunter, Sutalo; Pharaoni, Tamez, Ilic, Depaoli; Barack, Caprari; simone
Napoli: Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Rahmani, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Anguisa, Lobotka, Fabian Ruiz; Politano, Ocimene, Lozano
