"Domestically, however, Napoli remain flawless. Wins over Sassuolo, Cagliari and Fiorentina have carried them to three victories from three, with De Bruyne opening the scoring last week before a typically resolute defensive display saw them over the line. Conte's side are now unbeaten in 15 Serie A fixtures stretching back to February and have made their home ground a fortress, recording six wins in their last seven league outings at the Maradona."
"Conte may make minor adjustments after fielding the same XI in Manchester, though first-choice goalkeeper Alex Meret is expected to reclaim his place. Lorenzo Lucca, who once wore Pisa colours, will hope for a start in attack, but Romelu Lukaku (thigh) and Amir Rrahmani (hamstring) remain unavailable. De Bruyne, meanwhile, will be desperate to make amends for his subdued showing in midweek, while Di Lorenzo seeks redemption following his costly red card."
Napoli lost 2-0 to Manchester City in the Champions League after Giovanni Di Lorenzo received a first-half red card, with Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku scoring. Napoli remain unbeaten in Serie A with wins over Sassuolo, Cagliari and Fiorentina, and have not lost in 15 league matches, enjoying strong home form at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Antonio Conte may make minor changes, with Alex Meret expected to return, while Romelu Lukaku and Amir Rrahmani are injured. Newly promoted Pisa have struggled, drawing with Atalanta and losing narrowly to Roma and Udinese.
