Napoli host Juventus at the Stadio Diego Maradona on Friday evening in this highly-anticipated top of the table clash on Serie A Matchday 18.

The Partenopei are on top of the league table with 44 points after 17 games and come into this match on the back of a 2-0 victory away to Sampdoria. Meanwhile, the Bianconeri are seven points behind in second place and they also won their latest Serie A game against Udinese.

Prior to the victory against the Blucerchiati, Napoli had lost their first league fixture of the year to Inter, and Juventus will be hoping for a further slip-up from the Partenopei, potentially cutting the deficit to four points with a win in Naples.
