Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri has made three changes to his side for their Serie A clash against Genoa this afternoon.

Kalidou Koulibaly, Dries Mertens and Allan are the players who return to the starting lineup, following the 2-0 victory over Palermo in midweek.

Belgian international Mertens came off the bench to add the second goal in that match, and he will join Marek Hamsik and Jose Callejon in providing top scorer Gonzalo Higuain with support in the attack.

Meanwhile, Diego Laxalt will be looking to continue his goalscoring form, after netting twice for Genoa in their 3-3 draw with Torino on Wednesday evening.

Genoa: Perin; Ansaldi, Izzo, Burdisso Perotti; Pavoletti, Costa, Munoz; Dzemaili, Rincon, Laxalt

Napoli: Reina; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Allan, Jorginho; Hamsik, Callejon, Mertens; Higuain
