    Palermo v Napoli, Opta facts & predicted starting line-ups

    Serie A's Saturday night offering sees Napoli travel to Sicily to face Palermo. The home side has yet another new coach with former Foggia boss Roberto De Zerbi taking charge for the first time although he will be unable to sit on the bench as he is serving a one-match suspension carried over from last season. If that's not enough, De Zerbi is crippled by injuries to key players with Giuliano, Morganella, Quaison and Trakovski all absent.

    The visitors will want to improve on their first away day of the new campaign when they had to come from two goals down to grab a point at Pescara. Maurizio Sarri's side are the league's top scorers so far but the tactician admits that many of his players are still not 100% fit. New signings Nikola Maksimovic and Amadou Diawara will only make the bench and they will in all probability, be joined by Lorenzo Insigne; the Italian striker's loss of form currently being seized upon by Dries Mertens.
