Napoli vs Roma live: Osimhen's stunner puts league leaders in front

They haven't got forward too much of late, but Roma force a corner and you sense this is a chance to test Alex Meret. Problem is, the corner doesn't even beat Osimhen at the front post

Napoli win a free-kick midway through the Roma half. It's swung in towards the back post, where Amir Rrahmani meets it, but nods off target

The football from the hosts at the moment is just wonderful. The one-touch passing is silky and smooth, with Roma unable to get close to them

A lovely lay off from Osimhen just inside the Roma half allows Piotr Zielinski to break forward. He tries his luck from way outside the area, but shoots miles over the bar

That's Victor Osimhen's 14th league goal of the season - the same total that he achieved in the entirity of 2021/22

OH MY DAYS! That is SENSATIONAL! Kvaratskhelia clips a deep ball to the back post, where Osimhen chests it down, keeps it in the air with his thigh and then thunders the volley into the roof of the net from the corner of the six yard box. Sublime.

Many, myself included, would have expected Jose Mourinho to park the bus here. That's been far from the case for Roma though, who've been getting forward at every opportunity

Crikey, that was close! A long ball over the top towards Tammy Abraham. Alex Meret comes off his line to try and punch clear, only for his defender Kim Min-Jae to flick it backwards. The ball clips the post and goes agonisingly wide

Serie A has got semi-automated offsides in place for the first time this weekend, with an extra eight cameras around the stadium being used to judge if a player has broken the line too early. We haven't seen it in action yet, though

Superb from Kvaratskhelia, who cuts in from the left wing and fires a dangerous shot towards the near post, only for Rui Patricio to get down and save

The hosts have had the bulk of possession in the early exchanges, although they've been unable to force a shot yet

There's no Roma fans in attendance, they're banned, but the atmosphere is brilliant. The visitors kick things off to a chorus of boos - we're underway!

Not going to lie, it still blows my mind that Napoli come out to Go West by the Pet Shop Boys

With just a couple of minutes to go until we get underway, here's a reminder of the team news...

NAPOLI: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Lozano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia

Subs: Marfella, Gollini, Olivera, Bereszynski, Ostigard, Jesus, Gaetano, Demme, Elmas, Ndombele, Zedadka, Politano, Simeone, Raspadori, Zerbin

ROMA: Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Spinazzola, Cristante, Matic, Zalewski; Pellegrini, Abraham, Dybala

Subs: Svilar, Boer, Kumbulla, Vina, Bove, Camara, Tahirovic, Volpato, Solbakken, Belotti, El Shaarawy

Roma have not beaten Napoli in six attempts, losing on four occasions and picking up a couple of draws. The most recent meeting saw Osimhen score in a 1-0 victory for the visitors at the Stadio Olimpico

This is the fourth and final game of the day in Italy's top flight, and we've already seen some shock results. Juventus lost 2-0 at home to Monza, AC Milan were hammered 5-2 by Sassuolo and Lazio have just drawn 1-1 with Fiorentina

He's not made himself popular at Everton after forcing a move to Newcastle, but the switch to the North East is now complete for Anthony Gordon. Find out all the deails here

Jose Mourinho has managed against Napoli on seven occasions, but picked up just two wins, none of them with Roma. The other five games have ended with three draws and a couple of defeats

Staggeringly, Napoli have still only conceded 14 goals in 19 Serie A matches this season. It's the best defensive record in the league, behind Roma and Lazio, who've both seen their backline breached on 16 occasions

After Juventus' points deduction, there's plenty to play for in the European race in Serie A. Roma are currently sixth, but they will go joint second with a win tonight

Napoli are seeking their first Serie A title since 1989/90, when they were spearheaded by Maradona. The current team has Victor Osimhen leading the line - he's scored 13 goals in 15 league matches
