Genoa-Napoli is played today at 6pm. In the conference, Conte confirmed the presence of Juan Jesus on the pitch in place of the injured Buongiorno. The lineup should be completed by the same men who played against Udinese with Neres replacing Kvaratskhelia. However, the Georgian has recovered and Conte will take him to the bench. The probable lineups according to Sky Sport.

Genoa (4-3-3): Loyal; Sabelli, Bani, Vasquez, Martin; Miretti, Badelj, Frendrup; Zanoli, Pinamonti, Vitinha. All. Vieira

There should be two changes among the rossoblù compared to the eleven that stopped Milan: Vitinha in the attacking trident with Pinamonti and Zanoli. Sabelli starts in place of Vogliacco as right defensive winger and Miretti moves up to midfield. The outcast could be Thorsby.

Napoli (4-3-3): He deserves it; Di Lorenzo, Rahmani, Juan Jesus, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Lukaku, Neres. All. Conte

Kvaratskhelia has recovered from the injury but will start from the bench: Neres is still in attack together with Politano and Lukaku.

How to replace Good Morning?

«The replacement is Juan Jesus. The boy has always trained well and has always been very helpful. He has shown that he is attached to Napoli, he is an obvious replacement. We are talking about a left centre-back, an expert footballer who has played many matches in his career. He knows he enjoys my trust. He knew that in case there would be a defection, he would still be the first choice».
