Despite his 14 consecutive victories, Juve still have not managed to take first place and this for 8 days. And this is due to the sparkling form of Napoli which carries an identical route to bianconeris. But on this day, the course of either team (see 2) may end. Advantage still to the Old Lady which receives and for the first time since the beginning of the season could become leader. Once leader, team members Pogba might fail to let go. But the Neapolitans led by striker Higuain do not hear well and fight body and soul to stay on the top step of the podium.

change to the team that beat Carpi 1-0 on Sunday. Brazilian midfielder Jorginho returns from a one-match suspension and competes with January signing Mirko Valdifiori for a place in the starting eleven on Saturday.

Max Allegri may risk 21-year-old centre-back Daniele Rugani following the injury to Georgio Chiellini at Frosinone on Sunday.
