Serie A: Napoli vs. Cremonese – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV
André-Frank Zambo Anguissa is expected to start on the bench for Napoli in a home game against Cremonese, and even Rasmus Hojlund is in doubt due to minor fitness issues.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at the Stadio Maradona today, and it’s the opening match of Serie A Round 34.
The Partenopei have earned just one point in the last two games and come to this match without David Neres, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Antonio Vergara and Romelu Lukaku.
According to Italian sources, including Sky Sport Italia, Hojlund is not fully fit and might need rest, prompting Antonio Conte to possibly start Giovane up front.

Hojlund will be tested in a training session this morning, but remains slightly favourite to start in the Partenopei’s attack.
Anguissa is also not fully fit, so he’s expected to go to the bench, which means Scott McTominay will play in central midfield and Alisson Santos will be deployed as an attacking midfielder alongside Kevin De Bruyne.

Cremonese are desperate for points in the race for survival and have travelled to the Stadio Maradona without injured striker Jamie Vardy and Faris Moumbagna.
