Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of the Serie A game between Napoli and Palermo.

End-to-end stuff early on here.

Two huge chances for Palermo! Ilicic misses the first with a low shot from 8 yards that's saved well be De Sanctis. The keeper gets back up to save Hernandez's diving header moments later.

Inler hits the bar! Hamsik makes the chance with superb skill to get Napoli moving. He finds Pandev, who makes space on the edge of the box before Inler charges in and thumps the ball against the bar!

But a good counter-attack from Palermo, before Barreto is penalised for a foul on Gargano.

Napoli have made a bright start, attacking down the left wing through Zuniga.

KICK OFF. Palermo get us underway.

Palermo are struggling at the wrong end of the table but, on 42 points, are 7 points clear of the relegation zone and are all but safe for another season.

Napoli are one of four sides tied on 55 points. But only one of Lazio, Inter, Udinese and Napoli will get that third Champions League spot - making tonight's game crucial.
