Udinese v Napoli LIVE - Neapolitans need just a point to win Serie A

Osimhen is Serie A's leading scorer, with 21 goals, but has not scored in the competition since a March 19 brace versus Torino. Injury has played a role in that.

Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti twice managed Udinese. He has won league titles in Russia before and the Coppa Italia, plus the Supercoppa, but this would be a first Serie A crown should his charges get a point tonight.

"Winning the Scudetto with Napoli would be a special achievement which would give me confidence going into any sporting situation," he said.

"Udinese are one of those teams that like to get lots of players in the opposition box, so we need to be careful," Spalletti went on to warn of his former club.

There are of course two teams playing and Udinese will start the match in 13th place, safe from relegation with 42 points already. They are a decidedly mid-table outfit but can be dangerous at home - AC Milan, Inter Milan and Roma have all tasted defeat at Dacia Arena this season.

Udinese are on a six-game unbeaten streak at home.

Napoli could of course have won Serie A at the weekend, but a late Salernitana equaliser meant the celebrations had to be put on hold. Mathias Olivera scored the Napoli goal in what turned out to be a 1-1 draw.

Each of the last six games between these two have been won by Napoli. Udinese are winless in the last 14 matches between the clubs in all competitions.

Despite losing to Lecce last time out, Udinese manager Andrea Sottil names the same team. So it's a back three and Roberto Pereyra playing in behind Ilija Nestorovski, who has just one league goal this season.

Leading scorer Beto is not fit enough for a place on a bench which includes Florian Thauvin.

Udinese: Silvestri, Becao, Bijol, Perez, Ehizibue, Samardzic, Walace, Lovric, Udogie, Pereyra, Nestrovski.

There are two changes to Napoli's starting line-up, with Tanguy Ndombele and Elif Elmas coming in for Piotr Zielinski and Hirving Lozano. Zielinski and Lozano drop to the bench.

Star men Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen lead the attack.

Napoli: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Olivera, Anguissa, Lobotka, Ndombele, Elmas, Kvaratskhelia, Osimhen.

Buonasera and welcome to LIVE coverage of Napoli's trips to Udinese. This could well be the game in which Napoli win Serie A - they need just a point to do it. Team news is on the way next.
