 Luis Muriel is the big absentee for Atalanta on Saturday due to a tendon injury. The Colombian has one goal and two assists in nine matches this season.

 Zappacosta and De Roon are also not fit. Giorgio Scalvini went off injured against Empoli, but should be ready to go from the start at the Gewiss Stadium. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Højlund is the favourite to start over Zapata.

Napoli received a big blow for tomorrow’s fixture. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who already had an awful week after his car was stolen on Wednesday, will miss the game against Atalanta due to lower back pain.

 The Georgian has taken the Serie A by storm and already has eleven goal contributions in Italy’s top flight. Giacomo Raspdori is expected to replace him.

Apart from Kvaratskhelia, Napoli’s squad is pretty complete. Only Rrahmani is still out due to a groin injury.

TALKING POINTS

– In the last seven matches between Atalanta and Napoli in Serie A, the Bergamo side have earned double the number of wins than the Partenopei (4 to 2). However, the Azzurri won the most recent such meeting, and could pick up two wins in a row in Serie A against the Dea for the first time since December 2018 (three in a row).

– Atalanta have found the net in each of their last eight league games against Napoli; never in their history in Serie A have they managed to score in more consecutive games against the Partenopei.

– The last draw in Bergamo between Atalanta and Napoli in Serie A dates to October 2014 (1-1, with goals by Denis and Higuaín). Since then, there have been three wins by the Dea and four by the Partenopei.

– Atalanta lost 0-2 against Lazio in their last home league match; only once under Gian Piero Gasperini have the Dea failed to score in two straight home matches within a single league season (three between September and October 2018).

– Napoli have won eight consecutive Serie A matches for a second time under Luciano Spalletti; the Partenopei last won more in succession in February 2018 (10 in a row under Sarri).
