Match facts

SSC Napoli

Gennaro Gattuso's hosts can join Milan on 17 points with a win, but the Rossoneri's long unbeaten streak will not be broken easily, even in the absence of increasingly popular boss Stefano Pioli.
Napoli are unbeaten in their last 11 encounters against Milan in Serie A - winning six of those - and are in fact the last side to stay unbeaten versus the Rossoneri in the top-flight for a sequence of 12 or more games - between 1974 and 1979.
Causing Gattuso some rare defensive concerns, both Amir Rrahmani - of Kosovo - and Albania's Elseid Hysaj returned from international duty having tested positive for COVID-19.

AC Milan

Sunday's visitors are unbeaten in their last 14 games away from home in all competitions, winning nine, and the last time the Rossoneri enjoyed a longer run was for a total of 15 matches - under the expert guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, back in 2004.
In recent history Milan have rarely fared well after the long journey south to Naples, having won just one of their 14 Serie A away encounters with Napoli in the 21st century, losing seven.
Both Ibrahimovic, 39, and Gattuso - three years his senior - played together at Milan when the club won the last of their 18 titles back in 2011.

Predictions

Just the sort of big-time clash needed to relaunch Sunday night Serie A after the international break and expectations are sky-high for an entertaining encounter in Naples.

Both sides boast an array of attacking talents - though Rafael Leao and Victor Osimhen unfortunately miss out - so the most probable outcome is a score draw, which either side would be happy to take - even if they would not freely admit it.
