We are underway!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Serie A clash between Napoli and Inter. Antonio Conte's side will be looking to move closer to the title, while Napoli can still finish in the top four this season.
This match has the potential to be a cracker, with both teams in superb form. Napoli have only lost one of their previous nine matches, while Inter are unbeaten in 11, winning nine on the bounce.
Earlier today, AC Milan managed to sneak past Genoa and won 2-1. That means Inter are eight points clear at the top of the table ahead of kick-off, and another win would push them to within touching distance of the league title.
NAPOLI (4-2-3-1): Alex Meret; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Kalidou Koulibaly, Kostas Manolas, Mario Rui; Fabian Ruiz, Diego Demme; Matteo Politano, Piotr Zielinski, Lorenzo Insigne; Victor Osimhen.
SUBS: Nikita Contini, Hubert Dawid Idasiak, Karim Zedadka, Dries Mertens, Antonio Cioffi, Stanislav Lobotka, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Nikola Maksimovic, Elseid Hysaj, Amir Rrahmani, Eljif Elmas.
INTER (3-5-2): Samir Handanovic, Milan Skriniar, Alessandro Bastoni, Stefan de Vrij; Matteo Darmian, Christian Eriksen, Marcelo Brozovic, Nicolo Barella, Achraf Hakimi; Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez.
SUBS: Roberto Gagliardini, Daniele Padelli, Alexis Sanchez, Ashley Young, Stefano Sensi, Ionut Radu, Ivan Perisic, Matias Vecino, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Andrea Ranocchia, Andrea Pinamonti.
The two teams are out on the field of play, and kick-off is moments away.
Lukaku has looked a constant threat throughout the match, but Inter need to see a bit more from Eriksen and Martinez. Napoli will know they need another goal to have any chance of victory, with Inter the team dominating proceedings.
That is all we have time for. Thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
The game was full of tension, and with so much on the line, neither team gave up a yard. Seven yellow cards were shown in total, and Napoli have a good account of themselves, even with Osimhen having an off night. On another night, De Vrij and Lukaku could have had two goals each, but the latter was denied by the woodwork on two occasions. Inter are now nine points clear at the top, while Gattuso's side are fifth in the table and can still catch second-placed AC Milan before the campaign comes to a close.
