Hello, and welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of this Serie A game between Napoli and Sampdoria. We'll have some team news for you shortly.

And that's full-time. An excellent win for Rafa Benitez's side, thanks to a couple of goals from Dries Mertens. They are back within ten points of leaders Juventus, but perhaps more importantly are three ahead of Fiorentina in the race for the Champions League spots.

Napoli try to rund down some time in the corner, but De Silvestri bundles Dzemalli over.

Eder goes close, inspiring something of a goalmouth scramble, but Napoli eventually get it clear.

Insigne cuts in from the left, looking for that third goal, but De Silvestri manages to cut out the attack.

There will be four minutes of injury time.

Some neat play by Zapata and Mertens on the edge of the box, but the latter's pass through is just too strong for the former.

Insigne nearly makes it three after some neat play shuffles the ball all the way across the pitch to the left of the box, but his shot doesn't quite have enough curl on it.

Mertens is on the sidelines receiving treatment, but he should be fine.

Ooof. Costa drills a cross over from the right and Mertens takes it full in the kidneys. That will hurt.

Mertens swings the corner over, but can't find a Napoli head and it goes out.

Zapata does well to win a corner down the right. Napoli looking to close this one out now.

Last change for Napoli - Callejon goes off, and Josip Radosevic comes on.

Armero tries to power down the left, but De Silvestri does well to tackle the Napoli man.

Callejon tries a shot from the right side of the area, but the effort is blocked.

Zapata gets a booking for wrestling Costa to the floor.

De Silvestri looks for Pozzi at the far post with a deep cross from the right, but Rafael catches with some ease.

So close for Samp! Pozzi is straight into the action, moving the ball onto his left foot out on the right, he shoots past Rafael but it hits the inside of both posts before bouncing out.

And Sampdoria make their final chance - Nicola Pozzi replaces Kristicic.

Another sub - Duvan Zapata comes on for Higuain.

Mertens chips a corner over from the right, but Inler can't direct his header at goal from the right.
